I have this website i just completed and i want to integrate my existing wordpress with it. Note on the homepage i want to pull posts from the wordpress database in and display it in short form as follows

You can access WordPress outside of WordPress and execute a query like so:

<?php

    // Bring in WordPress
    require_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-load.php' );

    // Setup your query
    $args = array(
        'numberposts' => 3, 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_status'=>'publish'
        // adjust as you need
    );

    // Execute your query
    $posts = new WP_Query( $args );
    if( $posts->have_posts() ) {
        while( $posts->have_posts() ) {
            // Loop through resulting posts

            $posts->the_post();
            if ( has_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID() ) ) {
                $thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() ), 'thumb-rectangle' );
            }

            // Now do something with your post
?>
<div class="pod">
<?php if( $thumbnail ) { ?><img src="<?php echo( $thumbnail[0] ); ?>" width="" height="" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php           
        }
    }

Quick modification to display one post:

<?php

    // Bring in WordPress
    require_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-load.php' );

    // Setup your query
    $args = array(
        'p' => __post_id_here__
        // adjust as you need
    );

    // Execute your query
    $posts = new WP_Query( $args );
    if( $posts->have_posts() ) {

            $posts->the_post();
            if ( has_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID() ) ) {
                $thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() ), 'thumb-rectangle' );
            }

            // Now do something with your post
?>

<?php if( $thumbnail ) { ?><img src="<?php echo( $thumbnail[0] ); ?>" width="" height="" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php           
    }
