since you asked several honest questions, i'll give you some honest answers.
I will first preface the following, .XXX is a bad idea on every level and i clearly do not support it, being one of the few people who posted their comments to iCANN during the open comment period.
secondly, my company is on contract with ASACP for all the technology and infrastructure in the fight against cp.
1) as far as i know, ASACP is not receiving $10 from each sale. i believe 10% ( or some percentage_ of each .xxx domain is given to IFFOR by ICM registry to fund that non-profit. portions of the money received by IFFOR are allocated to various child protection type companies.. mainstream and adult.
even if it were receiving $10/domain, that doesn't change anything.
since ASACP has cphotline.org and the various technologies integrated, ASACP would contract with IFFOR for the use of cphotline.org to be the official place to report CP.
my contract with ASACP is a fixed-based one, and would not benefit from the .XXX money.
2) monies received will go to furthering ASACP's objectives, which could include lobbying of congress, providing more staff , etc.
3) DCIA, a P2P trade association for which Kazaa is a founding member, is using cphotline.org as a hotline for people to report CP on P2P. if you are against P2P software, then any issues about taking money from .XXX to support their anti-CP stance, should also stand consistent with taking money from P2P companies.

If you want to know who is really benefiting from .XXX ask around. while ASACP has visible connections to receiving monies, there are others in the shadows.
