I'd like to replace the (pretty loud 60mm) original heatsink/fan with a more stylish and quieter one.
Thanks a lot

Thank you, yes that's a fitting fan, but what about the heatsink?

I do WANT to remove the heatsink and install a complete new pair of fan/heatsink...that's why i need to know the kind of socket

"can anyone tell me what kind of CPU socket XENA features?"
Xena is not socketed. She is soldered directly to the Nemo board. She has no heatsink, no fan, and no need for either of them. Access to her available pins are through the Xorro slot, using a board available from AmigaKit.
The primary processor on the Nemo board is a PA6-T. It is not in a socket. This will make choosing a fan based on the socket used a bit tricky, at least.

A lot of work was done early on during the Nemo development to ensure that a "standard form factor" was used for the cooling, making replacing it a much easier job than with previous boards. As for the actual spec decided upon, it was too long ago, but googling the mounting dimensions should reveal something.

I just replaced my X1000's CPU fan with a Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX, which has resulted in a very noticable reduction of the noise, while keeping the CPU temps the same (running the fan at its nominal speed).
Caveat emptor, YMMV, don't do this unless you know what you're doing, etc. etc.

IIRC, the standard CPU fan doesn't have the tacho pin to measure RPM. This doesn't prevent the fan speed from being adjusted though. All that's needed for variable speed is adjusting the voltage that's applied to the motor (usually using PWM).
