    Usually people in PAL territories are trying to use Japanese or US consoles, but I'm assuming the reverse would still work.
    Although I have to say that here in Australia multi region capable televisions have been around for some time, in fact it's difficult to find one that's just PAL.

    Yes I use step-down converters for NTSC consoles, so I guess you would need to use the opposite. But I've only ever had PAL Xbox consoles.

    Spoiler warning:

    Yes to all the above

    You may have display issues though, but you can patch the dash to work in NTSC if you softmod it or is modded in some other way otherwise it will display in PAL that your TV may not handle well or at all

    Most PAL TV's now though can handle NTSC display without issue, but vice versa may be a different story

    P.S. the xbox is region locked to start with unless you have a mod chip or a softmod in place, even with a soft mod the DVD drive is region locked, though once modded most games will run from HDD negating the DVD drive lock (DVD drives on the original Xbox are usually the first things to go anyway)
