Answer 1 :
Many places in Europe uses 220V at 50Hz, so you will need a power supply that will support that. However, you should get an adaptor kit, as not all countries use the same kind of outlet.
Answer 2 :
YES All you need is a small adapter that fits the AC end. European countries have larger ends on the plug. Radio Shack used to sell them. Anyway your power supply can already use EU electricity, you just cant plug it in without the end being correct. The laptop transformers are autoswitching/sensing they can run from 100-240v . As long as it is a modern laptop from PII to P4. The cost should be $20 or less for the plug set (which includes Japan/EU and some other countries) Check Ebay. Remember you don't need a whole powersupply, just the ends
