There are two parts:
To search for the word under the cursor: C-s C-w
To highlight all matches, look at ishl.el. For example:
(require 'ishl)
(ishl-mode t)
(setq-default ishl-cleanup nil)
To change the color of all occurrences after the first:
(set-face-foreground 'secondary-selection "antiquewhite1")
(set-face-background 'secondary-selection "Mediumblue")
Bonus:
Play with M-x occur and M-x igrep when you have time.
