No, they are not a part of XP (or any other version of Windows). Yes, they
need to be purchased. Separately or you could buy one of the MS Office
packages.

No, XP pro is only your OS. You have to purchase Office
separately.

No. Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has
ever included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or any significant
other application software.
Such programs have to be bought, either by themselves or as part
of Microsoft Office.
If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with such programs, it was because the vendor who sold it
bundled then as part of the package he sold you, not because that
version of Windows came with them.

Greetings --
Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.
