X10 is a home automation protocol. Powerline extenders do not use X10. Powerline extenders use HomePlug AV. From what little research I've done, it appears that X10 and HomePlug AV do not interfere with each other. Powerline extenders are very much a hit and miss affair. They work great for some and terribly for others. Speeds are heavily dependent on the layout of your A/C wiring and nearby radio interference. You can certainly give it try but I suggest you buy from a store with a liberal return policy. Ultimately, nothing beats running an Ethernet cable to the dead zones and installing an Access Point.
