Here's my question, how does it decide which humans to kill and which ones to cocoon for facehuggers? Also would the "dog alien" from Alien 3 have gotten along with the humanoid Xenomorphs or is it too genetically/physically different and would have attacked each other?

It depends on necessity who gets killed and who gets cocooned. They will cocoon as many as there are eggs, as shown by the number of colonists taken to the nest in Aliens, where there were plenty of eggs. In Alien the xenomorph was separated from his hive. The xenomorphs do eat humans for sustenance. So that was probably it’s motivation for killing the crew.
