AFAIK, Google doesn't process XSLT templates. So while the text content of the XML can be indexed by Google, it'll just be in the form of the plain XML document, meaning most of the document semantics won't be understood by Google aside from some shared attributes and elements between XML and XHTML.

It sounds like you're trying to create a Polyglot Document (and I sound like Clippy!) Essentially, that's an HTML5 document which is also valid XML.
Basically, you just need to carry on as normal, writing valid HTML5. You will need to close any self-closing elements (e.g. <br> becomes <br />, same for img, source, hr, etc) and make sure all ...

It just sounds to me like the same purpose could be served by serving JSON or actual XML or RSS to clients requesting those feeds, and then you ...

JavaScript and the DOM are very quick ways to update any items on a web page. If you understand scripting, it is pretty easy to pick up as it's loosely typed. If there is a unique identifier, or if you have a way of adding one, it's pretty useful. Or you can fetch the table, loop through rows or cells, whichever you prefer, checking each element for evidence ...

Normally no user will see your sitemap.xml, it's there for the robots and spiders, you're right. You put it on the root directory of the site.
