If I go from a triple chainset to a 1x on my XC bike will it make the Q closer to that of my road bike?
Depends. There's certainly the opportunity to reduce Q a bit, but not as much as you'd think, and not everybody exploits it. For example, the SRAM X0 3×10 actually has lower Q (by 0.5mm) than the X01 1×11
