Read the INSTALL file that comes in the libxml source tarball. That
should provide you with enough information to get the package built and
installed.

As for using it in your programs, it is just like using any other shared
libraries. The library comes with a bunch of header files that will be
put in ${prefix}/include/libxml2/libxml/ and a libxml2.so file for
linking against.

The library itself is written in very portable C and the build
infrastructure just uses the standard GNU build tools. So it should work
out of the box on AIX systems.
