How is the CSV information stored in the TiledMap?

Hi ArcGIS experts:

    I am studying the Silverlight API demo http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#WebMapCSV
    and I got some basic questions.

    Q1. For the following code.
*************************************************************
Document webMap = new Document();
webMap.GetMapCompleted += webMap_GetMapCompleted;
webMap.GetMapAsync("e64c82296b5a48acb0a7f18e3f556607");
*************************************************************
Seems "e64c82296b5a48acb0a7f18e3f556607" is an id for a map service. How can I make my own map and publish it as such an id?

    Q2. By debugging the code, I found that the retrieved map includes one layer
http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer
         Why is this layer special such that it can provide feature points with tooltips on top of the raster map?

    Any brief direction is appreciated.
    Thank you.

Sui

Here's some help doc on creating web maps from ArcGIS.com: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/index.html#//010q0000001n000000

Actually, the map contains 2 layers: ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer (base map) and FeatureLayer (contains points from CSV). The webmap JSON http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items/e64c82296b5a48acb0a7f18e3f556607/data?f=pjson includes popup information. In the help doc above, look at "Configuring pop-up windows" section as well.
