Answer 1

No the Shengen states are the 24 countries below

The 24 Schengen countries are:

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. A Schengen visa issued by an Embassy or Consulate of the above countries allows the holder to travel freely in all of the issuing countries. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members.

Note; United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Switzerland are NOT participants in the Schengen Agreement.

As a EU member you would need to carry formal ID such as a passport
