use position() -1 instead of position(), but you are making it far
more complicated than it need be

For example

<xsl:for-each select="row">

      <xsl:apply-templates select=".">
        <xsl:with-param name="rownumber" select="position()"/>
      </xsl:apply-templates>
    </xsl:for-each>

could just be
<xsl:apply-templates select="row"/>

then your row template just needs to be

  <xsl:template match="row">
    <xsl:variable name="rownumber" select="position()">
