You can take the airport shuttle bus north railway line to Gaoqi Bus Station, then transfer to metro line 1 to Zhenhai Road. Or the taxi may take CNY 50. I see no hotel shuttle bus service booking at the arrival hall but you can buy the airport shuttle bus ticket there.

Xiamen doesn't have a visa on arrival policy and I believe you mean the 144 hours transit visa free policy. Sorry I didn't find the number of visa office or immigration but you can call the airport for further consultation: 0592-96363
Or consult China Immigration through its hotline 12367.

The airport doesn't have a hotel for you to stay overnight. The nearest hotel is Jinjiang Inn 1km away within walking distance, and the standard business room costs CNY 250-400.

Both Xiamen North and Xiamen stations have trains departing to Quanzhou. It is better to book train tickets online in advance in case of sold out on the same day. You can book with TravelChinaGuide directly: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/
