No and yes ß)
Xen is the "lowest" part which is "nearest" the
"metal" / the hardware byself and "just" maintains a fair
access of different operating systems to it.
The Dom0 is "on top" of xen and "just" a "privileged
Guest", it has access to hardware by it's "usual" native
drivers "trough" xen, it usually manages the virtualization (offer /
configure ressources) and handles some IO and networking.
The DomU's are "normal" guests without any direct access (except
if configured for some app etc.) to any hardware.
It make's sense to read some basic docs and/or try to set up a xen machine
with guests to get a first impression.
Xen Dom0s are available in Linux or NetBSD (not shure about FreeBSD yet).

This is the best way as it makes shure that the DomUs did not fall into any
bottlenecks if the Dom0 i.e. is out of ressources etc. and held any running OS
managable. Many "typical" systems do not run "more" then a
SSH daemon, logging and some cron jobs or hardware near monitoring sensor
access. On multiple core systems people often dedicate a core just to Dom0.
But afaik there are setups from peoples who even use Dom0 for applications /
work etc..

Not shure if i understand your question right here.
Xen has no bridge byself, but users can use "soft" bridges like from
bridge-utils or openvswitch to connect the virtual network devices of the guests
together or with the outer side networks. But there are even other ways to do
such jobs - i.e. by routing etc.
Xen has some scripts which easily could "automate" the bridge or
routing connectivity of created DomUs etc. but you even can bring in your own
logic if neccessary as scripts. Xen is very flexible herein...
