Reactivation of US copy of Office from the UK?

[Mandark]

I have borrowed my father's laptop temporarily while I am studying in the UK.
There are some strange problems with it and I think I may need to reformat,
and possibly replace, the hard drive. There are a couple of things I am
confused about:

1. Windows XP Home is an OEM edition, and the key is on a sticker on the
bottom of the computer. The install disk I have is a burned backup copy of
the original OEM recovery disk. Will this work for reinstalling the OS?

2. Office 2003 Pro my father got it through his job; I'm not entirely
certain if it is a volume license or a personal license. If it is the
former, what information do I need to reactivate it? I have the CD and
Product keys, but will I have problems trying to activate it online from the
UK?

3. Generally speaking, will I have reactivation problems since the computer
is intended for a US market and I am using it overseas?

Thanks.

1) provided it is a true copy there should be no problems
2) Provided you have the correct key for the cd there shouldnt be a problem,
though depending on how long previously it was activated you may have to use
phone activation
3) It makes no difference, an english version of Office/Win is an english
version no matter what country
