Keikyu trains are standard gauge--would work on American tracks! And they're not the only company for which this is true...

No idea; most US suburban railways are not electrified so you could build whatever catenary the trains required--might be more complicated where electrification is already common

Ya it looks like most of these railways use 1500V DC
-
I wonder how hard it would be to mod them for dual power sources--I know the Joban Line uses 1500V DC *and* 20kV AC 50Hz on different parts of the line, so the trains that run on it use both, despite only minor visual differences with other JR stock in the area
-
In France we have 25kV AC on major lines and 1.5kV CC on local lines, so a lot of trains are dual current, and even sometimes dual current + gas powered, for the few lines still not electrified.

Usually the frequency of the electrical infrastructure is just the same as the national one (50Hz in Europe)
