Answer 1

use a counter variable and increment it in each row like this
$result->execute();
$counter = 0; // initialize the counter
for($i=0; $row = $result->fetch(); $i++){
$counter+=1; // increment the counter by 1
?>
<tr class="record">
<td><?php echo $counter; ?></td> <!-- display the counter -->
<td><?php echo $row['Agentid']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['agentname']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['phone']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['meghna_c_no']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['pos_no']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['apn_mobile']; ?></td>
<td><a href="editform.php?Agentid=<?php echo $row['Agentid']; ?>">
Insert </a> </td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
you can also use your $i variable for it. like this
<td><?php echo ($i+1); ?></td>
instead of
<td><?php echo $counter; ?></td>

Answer 2

Use The $count Variable For Printing Serial Number, It Will continuously adding 1 Number Until The Loop Running.
<table border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> Serial No </th>
<th> Agent ID </th>
<th> Name of Agent</th>
<th> Agent Mobile</th>
<th> Agent Card No</th>
<th> POS Terminal </th>
<th> APN Mobile No</th>
<th> Update</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
`<?php
include('connect.php');
$result = $db->prepare("SELECT `Agentid`,`agentname`,`phone`,`meghna_c_no`, `pos_no`, `apn_mobile` FROM `agent` where `status`=2
ORDER BY Agentid DESC");
$result->execute();
$count = 0; // Initializing The Counter
for($i=0; $row = $result->fetch(); $i++)
{
$count++; //increment the counter ; ?>`
<tr class="record">
<td><?php echo $count; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['Agentid']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['agentname']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['phone']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['meghna_c_no']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['pos_no']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['apn_mobile']; ?></td>
<td><a href="editform.php?Agentid=<?php echo $row['Agentid']; ?>">
Insert </a>
}
</tr>
</td>

In case you are using while loop, initiate $i = 0, followed by while loop, then echo ($i=$i+1); to print serial number.
