How to create Tiles like UI within our app. If I use a button with image, its showing with borders. If I create a secondary tile, then the tile is getting created on the start screen.
Is there any way to create UI which looks similar to Tiles?
Thanks.
You can use Hub Tile from Windows Phone Toolkit. If you want many tiles in your apps, all arranged like in the start screen of Windows Phone device, then you should use Wrap Panel as container for those Hub Tiles. You can also create Tile like UI control as demonstrated very well by #Xin here

How do I create 150x150 square live tile with image collection in Windows Phone 8.1? There seem to be no template defined however few apps like People have it.
All the tile templates available are listed here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh761491.aspx
Built-in native apps, such as the People hub or Cortana, have access to special live tile templates. As far as I know, there is no way for third-party developers to use them.
I am trying to create a Live Tile with a different layout that the ones defined in the tile template catalog. Specifically, I want text to appear on top of an image for the 150x150 tile. Is there a way to do this for a Windows 8.1 app? I do not see this template for that size. Thanks

if you want to create a custom live tile you have to create image and use it as a background for your live tile.
Take a look at this post: http://spasol.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/creating-custom-live-tiles-for-windows-phone/ the Update Live Tile with custom parameters section.
Additionally If you need to update your live tile using background task you need to use http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.media.imaging.xamlrenderingbackgroundtask.aspx
I want to put here map on tile, is it possible? I am using flip tile?
I want to put map current location on flip tile (back part).
As said in comments you would need to use the WriteableBitmap to get the map written to an image. And for that task there is example available Windows Phone 8 Examples: Maps Samples at Github
So you could start by looking into the SaveMapImageEx example in there.
I am trying to use a live tile layout similar to the official Windows Phone 8 "Calendar" app for my app's live tile and I am also trying to update the lock screen notification. I was originally planning on using the Iconic tile template because it seems to be the most straightforward means to display text, but realized that it does not display any text unless the user uses the wide tile size. The other option seems to be flip tile, but I want the text to be displayed on the front of the tile, not on the flip side. I considered using the cycle tile template and generate the image to show for various tile sizes, but seems like I can't update the lock screen notification if I use that. Does anyone know how I can display text on a medium sized tile and also have the same text appear on the lock screen notification?
It does not use a publicly available tile template. You would have to recreate the template using an image, for example as in http://blog.anthonybaker.me/2013/05/wp8-tip-creating-live-tiles-with.html
