Not really, no.  In theory it should work, but in practice, it doesn't
at present.

Yes, virtual hosts are fine with PHP -- in fact this is the recommended
work around for problems with PHP and aliases.

Yup, that's the easiest solution.  You can tell the Xitami service which
user to run as, and if you set up a uesr _just_ for Xitami (like IIS
does for itself) then you can restrict what it can do quite easily.
