Is there an example where I could overwrite the url variable in the
OpenStreetMap.js outside of that file? . (Because the way its
delivered that file is more of a library file so I would like to keep
any changes to it outside of that file if possible? Is it possible to
overwrite url with mine url outside of openstreetmap.js.

What exactly is the difference between OSMMapnik vs osmarender.
(Performance? Features? Backend? Tiles generation?)
