There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called "story spotlights"—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

The exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after Ixalan's Binding leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions.
wotc29 Sept 2017
If there is no exiled card (perhaps because the exiled permanent was a token or was a commander that was moved to the command zone in a Commander game), Ixalan's Binding won't stop players from casting spells.
wotc29 Sept 2017
If Ixalan's Binding leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the target permanent won't be exiled.
wotc29 Sept 2017
If the exiled card has a different name in exile than it did on the battlefield, Ixalan's Binding stops players from casting spells with the name of that card as it exists in exile.
wotc29 Sept 2017
If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
