shoud there be a second accent on ξάδερφος when followed by μου? My spelling was corrected on a previous exercise to: ο ξάδερφός μου

As of today, 5/8/2018, "Ο ξάδερφός μου και εγώ έχουμε ένα καρπούζι" is still marked as a "typo". It is corrected to a single-accent version.

Γεια σας,
It should be possible to say "Η ξαδέρφη μου και εγώ [...]", because the English "cousin" is gender-neutral.
Ευχαριστώ!

Is it wrong to say την ξαδέρφη μου και μένα? Two questions here, one if the feminine is correct and two if you can substitute εγο with μένα.

They are both subjects of the verb, so we have to use nominative in both words

I tried το ξαδέρφι μου and was rejected; a dictionary told me this is a gender-neutral word for cousin. Is it inappropriate in this context?
It's correct, added now, thank you! We had only included the word ξαδέρφη ;)
