XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list:

There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to
such questions.
There is also an *excellent* FAQ at:

You will need it in XML in order to bring into XSLT ... all inputs to XSLT
are node trees, usually derived from XML documents.

See the FAQ regarding grouping algorithms and use the customer file as the
basis of your transformation.
The headings that you need can be derived from the XML you create for the
product information.
Because of the totalling requirements, you may find it easier to do two
passes, creating an intermediate file and then totalling from the
intermediate file.
Given the early stage of your data and requirements, this should be enough
to get you started.
I hope this helps.
