Re the power cord, it's double ended usb c isn't it? If you've got a usb c Android phone charger you can use that to plug it into the wall. The ereader will only charge to its maximum capacity, so it won't damage it. Same goes for a built in wall plate.

Charging off a PC might take longer than a dedicated charger though. In terms of power supply, PC USB ports are usually at the low end (5V/0.5A) while the Kobo supports up to 5V/2A (according to its label printed on the USB port side of the device).

So in theory a dedicated power brick could charge up to 4 times faster than a PC, but I haven't tested it.

For my Libra 2 it was a regular USB 2 cable with USB-C plug on one end (USB-A on the other).
Great, I've got a few of those USB powerpoints around the house. I'll use them.
Thanks
