The ipx file is generated by Qsys sometimes, what is its purpose? It looks like an XML file of some sort but I cannot say anymore.

A .ipx file in an IP index file.  It allows tools like Quartus and Platform Designer see the paths to multiple IP in a single file.  It is indeed XML.  The Platform Designer User Guide does have a section, I believe, on how to create one for your own IP.
