Is toxcore the name of the protocol? Would it be somewhat compatible with XMPP or something like that? I like that it's between FB messenger, gchat/hangouts, viber, what's app, Skype and hosted xmpp.

I think it will have a chicken and an egg problem unless there's some kind of tool that let's you talk with other older apps and protocols like gchat/hangouts, or maybe this is planned.

It will most likely not be compatible with anything but Tox itself unless someone makes a bot to bridge between the two. For example there is currently a bot in the groupchat (Syncbot) which is a bridge between Tox and IRC.
