This is saying "if there is an action with @type='accept' anywhere in the
document, then give me the value of the first action/@imodetask anywhere in
the document". By using "//", you are selecting relative to the root of the
document, not to the context node.
You want something like
<xsl:template match="action">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@type='accept'">
<xsl:value-of select="@imodetask"/>
