No IP restrictions.
Stated download policy is that the billing address of the credit card of record for the account is what rules.

Kindle customers from the United States can travel internationally and still get books in less than 60 seconds. Customers have the option to wirelessly receive periodicals and personal documents for a fee, or transfer files from their computer for free.

If you use 3G there would be a bandwidth fee.
With WiFi or PC downloading, it's free.
You can set up the account with a US-based credit card and then do all future purchases with gift cards. That you buy off another credit card.
(It's been done.)
As to De-DRM'ing Kindle books, it's not as easy as it used to be for books assigned to an actual Kindle Reader. Last I heard it was still doable for books assigned to Kindle-for-PC. That might change any day now.
Legal? Depends on the country; most western nations seem to frown on it.
