Routing Question:

If backbone providers A, B, and C are fully peering with one another
and little guy X has no peering with A but does with B and C. Will
packets still travel from X(customer) to A(customer) and back again?

Yes, via B or C. That is to say that it's sufficient to buy transit once,
assuming the connectivity between A, B and C is working. Note that this
isn't always the case. ;-(

presuming that you are using the term peering to mean not transit but
exchanging one's own routes, then no.
