Answer 1

OK, doing a bit of guessing here, but in your getSuggestions() method, change this...:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
theList.dataProvider = x.employee;
... to this:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
theList.dataProvider = x.employees.employee;
Next guess would be to change your xmlLabelParser() method from this...:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
return item.employees.employee.label;
... to this:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
return lxmx.@label;
