I'm not sure exactly what you are looking to do. To answer the last question first, XML is used for all sorts of things, from database applications, to games (Civilization 4 for example), to RSS. XML is just a way to mark up text with descriptive tags.
RSS is a format of XML that defines certain tags so that RSS readers know what to do with the contained data.
To include the contents of an RSS feed on your site, you need to use an RSS reader, or create your own, that will parse out the RSS into a more legible form.
To put a link to it on your site so that other people can find your RSS feed all you need to do is use a standard HTML link. Most sites use an RSS image as the link, which I recommend you copying to your server and doing the same.

1. Normally you just publish your link to your rss on your site, and include a special header such as
title="Yahoo! Answers: Answers and Comments for Whats the script to show RSS feeds on sites? Ive made the XML file?" href="/rss/question?qid=20060928111016AAw5ckU" />

2. xml is king! you can use it to de-generated down into xhtml.... imagine just writing the content, with no regard to layout! Then you write the layout in css and or xsl (or any other language, if you are so inclined)
the server combines the layout with the xml (or runs the program), and you have a beautiful xhtml page.

RSS is a everyday format for syndicating content fabric on the information superhighway. The content fabric could be something! in many situations preparation contained in an RSS feed is syndicated on different web pages which expands its attain. website travellers love RSS because of the fact they choose for which feeds they like to join, if at any element they're unhapy with the content fabric contained interior the RSS feed they only unsubscribe and not acquire notification of feed updates. RSS is unquestionably a win, win for the two subscribers and publishers. with the intention to get a greater advantageous understanding of ways RSS works acquire an RSS reader or use a information superhighway aggregator and join an RSS feed (they're in many situations indicated with the help of a small orange icon).

You need an RSS to HTML converter.
