I'm guessing that what you really want for VAT is subtotal - (subtotal//1.16)
Try this

UserTag vat HasEndTag
UserTag vat Interpolate
UserTag vat Routine sub { ($a) = @_; return $a-$a/1.16; }

with
    [vat][subtotal][/vat]

in the page.  Requires [new] syntax, err, the new parser :)

Don't know

See pages/hintfile.html and make <OPTION SELECTED> Germany your first
choice in the country SELECT.  That assumes you are using [help country]
like the sample catalog does.
