QUeryBuilder is built upon JCR SQL API. See: Query Builder API

You can use the QueryBuilder API within a custom AEM service and invoke it from an backend Java  HTL component (then display the result set in the HTL front end) -- see: Scott's Digital Community: Creating an AEM HTL component that queries the JCR

JCR SQL/2 docs can be found here: JCR 2.0: 6 Query (Content Repository for Java Technology API v2.0)

Another good community doc: http://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/tutorials/adobe-aem-cq5-tutorials/aem-query-builder/

As far as XPATH  - in later versions of AEM - this is not used much. Use ether QueryBuilder API or JCR SQL2.
