According to some customs, that persons stands at the central bima (table), where the Torah is also read. That is the practice I've seen in Sephardic synagogues. In another custom, there is a lectern adjacent to the Holy Ark in the front of the synagogue, and that is where the leader of the prayers stands.

There is no single phrase. It depends on the synagogue. In my synagogue, it's the sentence that translates as "Consider before whom you stand." It's a piece of advice from the section of the Mishnah that contains brief quotes and points to ponder from great Judaic sages of the past; the book is subtitled "pir-KAY ah-VOT", or "Ethics of the Fathers".
