Idea 1:
The same way it's done in the tutorial on the wiki, where you have a block class that holds a rectangle then iterate through all those blocks

Idea 2:
Translate the players position into world coords then depending on which key is pressed check the adjacent tile on the collision layer in the .tmx file returning true or false?
(this would require a lot less code and GUESSING would be less intensive as it wouldnt have to iterate through a loop every update call)

Idea 1:
Draw the (static) npcs in the Tiled map on a new layer and make those tiles non-passable

Idea 2:
Set the npcs on an object layer and iterate through them when checking for collisions
