Answer 1

I had a friend that lived in Spain for two years...I'd wait to have your passport renewed until you're ready to go...otherwise they might tell you to leave (unless you have a Visa).  Otherwise, the US Embassy/Consulate should be reissue your passport there.

I've a client get his passport reissued (it was lost) in CUBA by the Swiss gov't since there's no US Embassy there...so it can be done.

Answer 2

It's only a few days past date...You should have no trouble getting it renewed...

All you need is the proper sized passport pictures... and of course the money...

I don't know if the consulate in Barcelona renews it directly.. Our Consular agency in Malaga sends it to Madrid and they mail it back to us.
