I don't want to burst your bubble, but.....
On the first point, the Sony cordless (or any other phone made for the North
American continent) probably wouldn't work for you. I believe that the unit
would not ring because even if 90vac is used, I think it is at a different
frequency. Also I doubt it would dial out as European countries use a different
dialing plan.
On the second point, The phone to which you refer (for instance on miami vice)
I think are AT&T Merlin units. These units are not "single line sets" like you
and I have at the home. They require a separate cpu to run them called a "KSU"
or Key Service Unit. Anyway, maybe I'm nuts.
Good luck.
