This is what a friend of mine would call "trying to build an IKEA sofa with a 
fork". Mapnik is just not the right tool for this job.

In order to highlight stuff on a map, you can use OpenLayers' vector 
capabilities to draw a semi-transparent vector on top of a slippy map. And, 
for calculating the routes and generating the driving directions, you'll need 
a route-finding algorithm and related software. Look for "travelling 
salesman" and Gosmore.
