If your siege equipment is complete you can go straight into an attack and they won't be able to interrupt you. If you don't want to fight him you can entice him to attack and then retreat, leading the party far enough away that you can circle around and get there before they catch you (if you get too far away from them they will stop chasing you and will head back to the siege). When this happens the battle will take place on a regular field map rather than a siege map, and therefore your mounted troops will get to use their horses. If you "wait until tomorrow" while one or more enemy leaders are inside one of them may decide to attack you if his party is sufficiently larger than yours. As locations are conquered the number of places enemy leaders can retreat to keeps going down so it will become much harder to attack a location without fighting them as well.
If some enemy leaders are waiting at a location when you besiege it their forces will be added to the defenders' already sizeable garrison, so you may want to wait for them to leave before attacking, or choose a different target altogether. On the battle map itself there will also be some trebuchets, but these are merely decorative and cannot be fired. Increasing your Engineer skill will lower the construction time of both types of siege equipment.
The type of equipment is determined by the location you do not get a choice in the matter.
Ladders take only a few hours to build, but a siege tower may take several days. When you choose to besiege a place you will see how much food they have left (and how many days the food can last for), and also what sort of equipment you need to besiege it. When you visit a town or castle belonging to an enemy of your faction you have the option of besieging it note that you cannot besiege places owned by factions that your faction is not at war with, even if you reduce your personal reputation with that faction to the point where they are at war with your party.
