This is just one way to do things.
Make sure you read http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking

If your Dom0 acts as a router, then yes. If you use bridging, then no.

If you use bridging, then the bridge (inside dom0) just forwards frames
to domUs. If you use routing, then it's just a simple routing decision.

Depends on your need really, there are several ways. Make sure you read
the material on the wiki, also googling for 'xen networking' will be
useful.
