Hello Mauro,
concerning your questions

I prefer the passengers view of a station or halt. If we will meet "at
the station" where are you expecting to find me? This is the position, I
usualy use for placing the railway=station node, definitly not on a
track. The track carries nodes like public_transport=stop_position.
Putting 'station' on a building or even a larger area leaves it to the
renderer or any other data consumer to guess the center of the station
from passenges view.
Cheers
