Box will fit on the engine, but will not match the rear diff ratio. Get diff with the UK box and you will be ok, just hard work swopping it all over.
iirc the UK box has taller ratios.

Not that much...you might even enjoy the relaxation. I think first speed ratio is the same on all 5 speeders (I think!) then it all changes.
Better fuel consumption so you can feel 'green' for a while..
