well welcome,

well the xml files are in gamedata/data.....you will need a meg extrator to edit them...

as far as making a new campaign I am not the guy to ask.....just started modding myself, it's fun though

1) The files you are looking for are located in config.meg. Simply extract them (using EAWExtractor), then edit. Then copy your xml work to EaW\GameData\Data\Xml (you'll have to crate last folder).

 

2) Don't know, as I haven't tried modding campaign yet.. But probably you;ll want to mess up with campaign_*.xml

 

3) Save and check frequently, you'll skip a lot of frustration (but you probably knew that already )

Oh yeah, just take this as a note: Never mod multiple things at once, do it one by one. Or else you will have to sit at your comp for another day or so tryin to find the problem, or you'll have to delete your XML files and restart your mod/project.
