Under XAMPP root directory there is a folder called htdocs. That's where you should put your web site related stuff. For each web site you create, it's better to create a folder inside htdocs folder and then put content inside that to avoid conflicts.
Popular locations for the htdocs folder are /var/www or somewhere within /srv. Save this answer.
To access, download and upload files in your htdocs folder you would use File Transfer Protocol (FTP), sFTP, WebDAV or something similar. If you are working on a local server using a stack such as LAMP, MAMP, of WAMP you can simply navigate to the appropriate folder on your computer.
That totally depends on your server configuration so your only reliable source of information should be lighttpd's configuration file which (if installed globally) should normally be within the /etc folder (e.g. /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf).

I would say it kind of depends on the configuration of your server.
Still, maybe something like /var/www would do, if it exists : this is the default, with many Linux distributions, for the HTTP root folder.
If it's not there, you should try to find the configuration file for Lighttpd (something like lighttpd.conf, probably somewhere under /etc) ; in that file, there should be the path for the server.document-root.
