What point is used to determine the distance from airports is it the end of the runway or the center of the actual airport?
It depends. Some airports have VOR navigtion aids on the field, which regularly serve as beginning and end points for such measurements. Another convenient reference point is the center of the runway. With the use of GPS, it is possible to dial in the exact location of the numbers on the runway (!).

What are identified by numbers that represent the orientation in compass degrees rounded to the nearest 10 degees?
Runways, sort of (they're actually that divided by 10, zero-padded to two digits if necessary). So a runway marked "27" has a heading of approximately 270 degrees and therefore runs due west (Runways have different numbers on each end; the other end of runway 27 would be marked "09").
What do the numbers mean at end of a airport runway?
They indicate the approximate compass alignment of the runway. The number should be multiplied by ten to get a rough idea of how it is aligned. For example, a runway with 09 on it is at close to 90 degrees - so it runs almost exactly East/West. A runway with 36 on it is north/south aligned for a heading of 360, and on the opposite end it will be 18 for 180 degrees. In addition they are makers for the take off and landing references - Pilots see routes on charts that direct them to the runway designated by air traffic control. As well as taxiway signs indicating the runway in use and its compass direct the pilot will see ground markers both on the ground and if they have to pass across the threshold area (start of the runway) When landing using "visual rules" this also helps the pilot know they are on the right runway, if not they announce a missed approach and "going around"
