With XAPI, VMs are created from templates and the settings can be seen
with the command xe vm-param-list. There are various xe commands that
can be used to change these settings and add virtual devices, etc.

No. In current XCP/XenServer, XAPI runs as a service in dom0, but work
is in progress to allow XAPI to run in a service domain.

No. You may see XAPI talked about as a toolstack and also as a
service, but its the same XAPI.

Hope that helps.
