I didn't say connector, I said charger. And while my statement is not strictly true, any charger in the world manufactured since 2005 should work.
You will need a microUSB connection on the end, but this is assumed as it's the only plug that will fit into the nook. You do not need a Type A connector on the other end; a hard-wired charger will work in the same manner.

I'm not aware of why you are including this caveat. This stuff is very standard, and it isn't like there are multiple voltage standards for USB. Also, are you aware of some problem with the nook relating to a special sensitivity to voltage levels?

Voltage will be 5V. The current will probably range from 500 mA to 1.8 A (not mAh), although a solar charger may provide less. The current determines how fast the device will charge, but the nook can't use the full power of the device. I believe (without extensive testing) that the classic nook tops off around 750 mA, so anything above that won't produce a different result.
