Ethernet is ethernet. You can connect a WAP using media converters in exactly the same way you'd connect any other Ethernet device.
Obviously, you can't run POE over fiber, so you'll have to power the AP locally, or using a power injector colocated with the media converter.
Assuming you buy it new, the AP will come with a mounting bracket.

The easiest option will be to buy a spare bracket; the part number will be specific to whatever model AP you purchased.
