Generally, MS-DOS boots starting with the first available floppy drive. Then it checks the hard drive and then any additional hard drives if they are properly registered in the CMOS. Then it eventually checks any optical drives. But this all depends on the exact BIOS and the CMOS settings. With some BIOSes, you can disable the floppy boot or make it try the floppies after the hard drive.

No. Windows XP is not based on MS-DOS, unlike older versions of Windows like 95 or 98. These systems "booted in MS-DOS mode" by interrupting the boot sequence that started them from the DOS command line. Windows XP has it's own kernel and bootloader, and so does not rely on MS-DOS for anything. The command prompt you may find in XP is just a virtual machine to allow for running some DOS programs, as well as command-line system administration.
