preview-latex should render this stuff in italics (in case the typeset
output will also be in italics).  Or are you referring to font locking?
In the latter case, please check the manual:
(info "(auctex)Fontification of macros")

I don't understand this description/question.

Why would you want to write quotation marks like that?  AUCTeX makes it
very easy for you to use the babel quotes "` and "'.  Simply type <">
twice.  Or you can make use of the csquotes LaTeX package and get e.g. »
and « in the buffer when typing <"> if you customize
`LaTeX-csquotes-{open,close}-quote' accordingly.  And then you can
advise csquotes to typeset those as „ and “.

What do you mean with "more visible"?
