There are some small cultural difference between Georgians and Ossetians and Russia has a policy supporting secessionist movements in the other former Soviet Republics to weaken them. This became the cocktail that led to the South Ossetian movement to break away from Georgia. That this is primarily motivated by Russia also explains why North Ossetia (which is in Russia) has not attempted to break away from Russia: they would have no funding to do so.
Why did Georgia claim South Ossetia?
Georgia claims it and Abkhazia as part of its territory. They are referred to as "breakway republics," because they wish to be independent. Russia has recognized them as such. Georgia's claim on them comes from an old reorganization of their lands orchestrated by Stalin, during the Soviet Union.

Yes, Russia has troops in its neighboring countries even though the governments of these countries don't want them.

It supports rebel governments in these breakaway regions and the governments are led by Russian nationals; many of them former employees of the Russian government.

For example, the Russian government tried to dictate to Estonia where in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, a statue commemorating Soviet troops should be located. Russia used economic sanctions to try to force Estonia to comply.
