Web Designer Premium to both questions. XDPX does more but is too powerful for what you have asked. Premium is very close and far cheaper and has enough "web" capability to not disappoint if you change your mind. Avoid Web design, non-Premium version; it is woeful. I suggested XWD(P) mainly for Online Presentations.

Also avoid Page & Layout Designer 11; Xara have stopped it at 32-bit and any updates whatsoever.

Photo & Graphics Designer has advanced photo features that shouldn't be of much use for illustrating. It does have a Bitmap Tracer but all pan it and there are far better free ones available.
Only you can then assess if it has all the Illustration features necessary for others' work; I couldn't even guess.

Best value for illustrations would be £60 for P&GD; XDPX is £200!. XWDP is £70.
