Answer 1

Essentially you could create new request objects to crawl the urls created by the SitemapSpider and parse the responses with a new callback:

class MySpider(SitemapSpider):
    name = "xyz"
    allowed_domains = ["xyz.nl"]
    sitemap_urls = ["http://www.xyz.nl/sitemap.xml"] 

    def parse(self, response):
        print response.url
        return Request(response.url, callback=self.parse_sitemap_url)

    def parse_sitemap_url(self, response):
        # do stuff with your sitemap links
