In order for the outside world to access your xyz.domain.com address,
you will certainly need some kind of publicly accessible DNS. This can
be provided by your ISP, your domain registrar, or you can host it
yourself (probably the least reliable option).

Having an internal, private DNS server for a two-computer network may be
overkill. Setting up a public and private DNS server on the same
computer can be tricky. Personally, in my two-computer home network I just 
use IP addresses.

It should. You can always change the setup if you need to!
