No. All browsers that were released in the past five years should have
an XML parser. I can't comment on IE 7, but I have noticed the DOM
parser in Mozilla is much faster than IE 6.

There are differences between browsers as to what gets displayed when
using a CSS file. The HTML 4.0 standard around for almost a decade,
however, various browsers will handle html documents differenly.

As for CSS & XML, most people will tell you to create an XSLT file
rather than a CSS file. You can generate an HTML using various
programs. I recommend using Xalan over Microsoft's MSXML 4.0 when
converting the XML/XSLT to an HTML document. Also Xalan allows you to
convert the XML/XSLT into other formats such as pdf, postscript, etc.
A good introductory book on XML should tell you how to get Xalan and
use it.
