I felt quite save flying with Xiamen. Inflight entertainment options in English is quite limited. So be prepared and download stuff on your tablet or phone.
If you are a national of the 53 countries mentioned on the Xiamenair website you just need to complete the blue form handed out on the plane and go through immigration in Xiamen.
Xiamen has no airside transit so you always have to pass through immigration.
I dont know much about the refueling stop in TAO, my flight was direct. I had read at least a post before from someone with actual experience. I will try to find it again.

I have posted my own video for the arrival part in Xiamen in a different post here in this forum. Its from plane to the Taxi. It might be helpful for you depending on when your next flight is going and what your plans are.
