Why DNAT can't be applied in bridged mode? As far as I know there is a
possibility to be able to have packets in iptables visible (and be able to
apply their rules to them). Or is there any other problem I do not know?

And are there any (network) performance losses when using Xen in routed
mode compared to Xen in bridged mode?

Thank you in advance!
Tom.
