Just one question:
Do you know anything about Apache/MySQL/PHP security?

If not, you shouldn't bring your own Webserver online.
Use one of the hundred of thousand Webhoster on the net.

- configure your Router (portforwarding for port 80, 443 if needed)
- define exceptions for the services in your firewall.

thats all to access your pc from the Internet.

Sorry, i don't understand the question.
localhost is just a domainname / alias for the local ip 127.0.0.1.
Right after the XAMPP "installation", You can reach your Webserver through your public / private LAN IP, too.
