You know, I never thought of it before. I think it'd be interesting to read a British-situated fic with an American narrator, or vice versa, if it were done on purpose. If it were just sloppy writing, though, I probably wouldn't like it.

I used to get very annoyed whenever I read Linkin Park fics where the writer is obviously British and has the characters say things like "bollocks", but then I think if the writing wasn't bad to begin with I'd probably not care.

A tight POV (1st, 2nd or 3rd) should reflect the voice of the character. Otherwise it just sounds bizarre. I suppose with an omniscient narrator it wouldn't matter terribly - although I'm suspicious of omniscient narrators...

But I don't change my spelling for nobody, baby.

My preferred answer to #1 and #2 (not offered) is: if the writing is good, the narrator is without either gender or nationality.

My preferred answer to #3 is: We are nothing if not adaptable. We can understand all of it.
