An English-thread bottom bracket will fit into an English-thread shell regardless of where either of them were made.
Also, the rear triangle is has 120mm spacing. I would like to cold set it to 130mm to accommodate a larger cassette. Is it possible to stretch it out this far?
That's at the high end of re-spacing, but if you're careful it ought to work.
