Excuse me, I am looking for the station; could you point me in the right direction?

"Could" is the most appropriate modal verb here for making a polite, gentle request. "Should" asks for advice, and "must" expresses obligation.

Since it is raining so heavily, would you mind if I borrowed your umbrella for a moment?

"Would you mind if I + past tense verb" is a highly polite way to ask for permission or a favor.

"Shall I..." is a classic, polite way to offer help to someone. "Will I" sounds unnatural when making an offer.
