Answer 1

Look at the <xsl:number.../> instruction. It has arguments to format numbers in different styles that cover letters and roman numerals. It's available in both XSLT1 and XSLT2.

Answer 2

Just for fun, this stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:inc="include">
 <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="text()"/>
    <xsl:template match="Step">
        <xsl:variable name="level" select="count(ancestor::Step)"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring('&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;',1,$level)"/>
        <xsl:number format="{concat(
                             substring('[',
                                       1,
                                       $level and $level mod 2 = 0),
                             substring('1a',
                                       $level mod 2 + 1,
                                       1),
                             substring(']',
                                       1,
                                       $level and $level mod 2 = 0))}. "/>
        <xsl:value-of select="concat(Text,'&#xA;')"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="Step"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

1. First Level
2. First Level
    a. Second Level
        [1]. Third Level
            a. Fourth Level
