I want to install the Xcode version for macOS 14.6.

The App Store shows Xcode 15 with macOS Sonoma.

But I want the Xcode version that works with macOS 14.6. At this time, I want to continue using macOS Ventura (14.6), not macOS Sonoma.

I navigated to Xcode Resources at https://developer.apple.com/xcode/resources/.

Then, I scrolled down to Additional Downloads and clicked the link labeled Command line tools and old version of Xcode.

The More Downloads page appears at https://developer.apple.com/download/all/.

Once again, I scrolled down to the first Xcode version, following the various Xcode 15 versions.

I found Xcode 14.3.1. See the following image.

QUESTIONS:

Is this the Xcode version I should install to work with macOS Ventura 14.6?
What is the extension ".xip"? (See #3 in image above.)

Yes.

It’s a self extracting archive. After downloading, just double-click on the file and go grab a coffee.

You mean 13.6, there is no 14.6. Either Xcode 14.x or Xcode 15 will work on Ventura. Don't worry about .xip, if you double-click it, the Archive Utility will decompress it.
