The GoVPP project provides generator of Go bindings and Go client for the VPP API. It does not in any way operate with specific API message/service related to VPP networking objects.

Please refer to the official VPP documentation: https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.10/
If that does not help you can try asking on VPP-dev mailing list: https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev

To answer your questions:

1. You would need to create a VPP plugin with *.api definition as part of your custom VPP.
   Refer to developer guide in VPP documentation: Adding a new plugin or feature
2. Try searching 'af_xdp' in VPP documentation: Search Results
3. Try the search in VPP documentation ^
4. binapi - it's abbreviation of binary API which refers to protocol of the VPP API
   Refer to VPP documentation: https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.10/interfacing/binapi/index.html
5. See point number 2
