1. They show on surface maps. They also show from space and are visible from orbit. Of course the usual rule regarding system data apply; you may have to buy it or acquire it.
2. There are no settlements outside the inhabited bubble, although it has been hinted that lost colony outposts may be stumbled upon.

Umm not 100% sure on this. So far we have had instances where you buy the exploratory info beforehand but landable planets still do not show up in the System Map (maybe these need to be re-discovered to appear back in the exploration exchange system or its a new game mechanic or its a bug?).
When in the System and within range of the abilities of your discovery scanner it will pick up undiscovered planets and these show up as landable and whether they contain settlements or not in the System Map. However I believe at this point only "Mission" destination settlements location and name will show up on the Planet View Map or the Nav panel.
To view locations and names of all settlements you need to carry out a targetted scan on the relevant planet(s). Again not 100% sure about that last bit maybe shouldnt post from memory!
