Default port for MySQL is 3306. If you use XAMPP the default setup for 
MySQL is indeed:
host: localhost
port: 3306
user: root
password: <blank>

"localhost" may not be known on Windows by default, you may have to add 
it to the "hosts" file first (on my Vista installation located in 
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc ). Add lines like:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1       localhost

The second line is the IPv6 address version of 127.0.0.1.

To see if your database is working you can use the PhpMyAdmin tool that 
comes with XAMPP. You can use that tool also to create an empty database 
first and select it in the Install Tool.

Take everything step by step. First make sure your webserver is working. 
XAMPP comes with a control panel where you can see if Apache is running 
and which ports it uses, if MySQL is running and which ports it uses. 
Then you can check if you can see the web pages that come with XAMPP 
show up in your browser and you can see if MySQL is working with the 
PhpMyAdmin tool that comes with XAMPP.
If that is working correctly you can try to install TYPO3.
