I know you got the ebook via Kobo, but I thought I'd address some your questions, anyway. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've had issues with B&N, as well. Technically, the method mentioned by others *should* work; when it comes to B&N, however, they don't always for me. I've had a few ebooks that I managed to purchase from B&N (well, only one was an actual purchase, the others were free) but I've also had several that refuse to download either to my Nook or to my Nook for Mac. It seems like a hit-or-miss kind of thing.
One thing I can confirm, though, is that method seems to work with the Kindle US store without a hitch. I've purchased several ebooks from there and never had an issue.

It showed in my account settings for B&N that my address was the US address that I used to replace my real address when I edited my personal details. Is this correct or should I have just left it alone with my real address? Would this have made any difference?

Probably. You need to have a valid US billing address in your info to buy anything from them.

To clarify, I won't need to download Kobe's own e-reader app for PC?

As others have said, it really makes no difference. Use whichever software you find easier and more enjoyable. I assume the Kobo s/w will have an advantage in that the ebooks should be synced automatically with your account.
