If you download on the Nook or with the B&N PC Reader you will usually get an Epub file. If you download from the website or on other devices you will get an PDB file (because that is more compatible with the B&N reader on other devices).

The agency 5 publishers have forced all bookstores to use fixed prices that may not be discounted. So the books of these 5 big publishers are this expensive everywhere, not just at B&N. So for most books B&N is not more expensive than other bookstores.

The publishers have forced bookstores to implement geographic restrictions. Every store has these restrictions.
One way the Kindle store gets around this is by offering UK editions to European Kindle readers.
