Answer 1

Depends on how your excel document looks like and what you wish to accomplish.
First, save the excel file as a tab or comma separated file.
Create a program that reads the lines of the file, and just print the cell content into the right xml tags.
E.g.
Street Name
Main st 3 Wild Bill
Main st 2 Crazy Bill
could be translated into an xml:
<Adress>
<Street>Main st 3</Street>
<Name>Wild Bill</Name>
</Adress>
<Adress>
<Street>Main st 2</Street>
<Name>Crazy Bill</Name>
</Adress>
or:
<header>
<col>Street</col>
<col>Name</col>
</header>
<row>
<col>Main st 3</col>
<col>Wild Bill</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>Main st 2</col>
<col>Crazy Bill</col>
</row>
etc
E.g. using the code
String[] lineColumns=...
while(lineColumns!=null){
  println("<row>");
  for(int i=0; i<lineColumns.length; i++){
    println("<col>"+lineColumns[i]+"</col>");
  println("</row>");
