I have created a xampp page on Windows server 2008. I am successfully able to load the xampp page and other php pages that I have created using localhost:8080/.
Firstly : I want to know how can I access the xampp page from outside the local machine via some other computer connected through internet.
Secondly : Can I use my server name (54.243.xxx.xxx) in place of localhost in the url to access the xampp page and other files. 54.243.xxx.xxx:8080/?

That depends on your Listen option in the httpd.conf / httpd-ssl.conf. If it is set to
apache will only listen and serve requests to that IP address. If there's only a statement present like
it will listen on all interfaces by default and you will be able to reach your page by using your public IP address and the port number.
