Answer 1

One possibility would be to use the the Java bindings for libvirt which provide an interface for controlling a variety of virtualization solutions programatically.

It has specific documentation for Xen found: here

A quick review of the API shows that once you have things configured correctly the function virDomainCreate to start your virtual machine.
