NTSC and PAL are TV refresh rates and don't apply to computer monitors or handheld consoles. When used to describe DS games, it just means their region of release, NTSC region is the US, PAL is Europe, etc. However there's no difference in the video refresh rate for the different regions, and DS consoles are region free, so yes, you can play European games on a US DS, there's no problem.

Normally you cannot. It will make your screen do this rolling thing. You will have to make it so your console can play copied games and then convert it from NTSC to PAL. It is not all that hard to do if you know what you are doing. That guide I mentioned above told my friend how to do most everything with copying console games.
