What was Xemnas doing during the time of KH1 and before? I know Org. Xiii were looking for new members and I guess castle oblivion as well? But like what was Xemnas' plan while Ansem SoD was trying to fulfill his? Did he just figure the more heartless Sora defeats the better? Was he solely looking for Ven and Aqua?

He does the same thing that Ganondorf does while waiting for Link to get to the end: copious amounts of Solitaire.

 

In seriousness, he had a couple things on his plate: getting the Organization up and runng (judging by the KH2 Final Mix cutscenes, there was at least a little bit of a scramble to get the members), as well as being occupied with finding the Chamber of Awakening in Castle Oblivion.

 

Another question might be whether both Xemnas and Ansem had any idea that the other was trying to find Kingdom Hearts, or if they had the same intent to use it once it was theirs.

good idea nevr gave it much thought.

Well from the KH FM battle with Xemnas we do know that he knows of Sora so he must know who Sora was fighting. So I assume Xemnas had to know of Ansem SoD, but maybe I'm reaching here but I think Ansem SoD must have known of Xemnas. I mean he does seem very wise on most matters as Xemnas was. Maybe Ansem SoD didn't know of Xemnas though. I think that question will be answered in KH3D b/c they are together so we will probably learn more about what Xemnas and Ansem SoD did in their time alive.

I don't think Ansem SoD could have met Xemnas. Them meeting would just recreate Xehanort, wouldn't it?

I'm not saying that they met each other, but that maybe Ansem SoD had knowledge that Xemnas existed. I find it hard to believe that neither of them knew the other existed when AX/Terranort had a lot of knowledge from his research and from MX. And of course the reason they wouldn't want to meet would probably be the risk of them forming back into one being which would end both of their existences.
