Regarding that last part of the question: I am sure this is Apple's way of saying to all iBook users that they have a sick sence of humour.
As soon as you proof your ePub on an iPad, iTunes adds it's own file (quoted above) which invalidates the ePub.
Solution: Open the ePub again. Remove the playlist which will be on the first level of the package and rezip and rename epub.
I rename the file like "no itunes plist" and use that file to validate then put it in another directory that never goes near iTunes again.

Regarding the linking of a TOC in ePub. It is the same way you create hyperlinks in HTML. How you do that is up to you. Manually in a text editor or there are some HTML editors. Download Sigil and have a read of the Sigil threads.
