So reading through all of this, it looks like the rpmdevtools from epel is the simplest. Once I create a non root user, then as that user create the build environment, where should I execute the `rpmbuild --rebuild xen.srpm` command from?

Anywhere you like, as long as you're not changing anything in or about the srpm.

I assume that matters so the rpmbuild command finds whatever file it needs to

Not unless you're making changes.

Just to clarify, if I am on an x64 system, will this only create the x64 rpm as expected?

Yes.
