#2Pretty sure it's credit card info since that's the most accurate option available. If you're outside those countries you're probably unable to use the iTunes store.
I think they use IP geolocation until you're authenticated - that's been my experience traveling a lot and being a whore for new laptops and/or clean installs of Windows every now and then.
