1. Yes, Facebook is very common. 2. Yes, virtually everyone in Sweden, at least those under 75 years of age, have a good working knowledge of English. 3. Generally speaking, Sweden is more informal than many other countries, both regarding clothing and in other matters. For many Swedes, fashion is not very important, although that differs from place to place. In Stockholm (the biggest city) it seems more important what you wear, in Gothenburg (the second city) less so. In my homecity, I remember one of the high schools were very fashionbound, the other very not so. For me, fashion, looking modern, not being different or seeming "normal" is totally uninteresting, but people are different also in that regard. As to the fashion per se, the trends nowadays are more global than local anyway.
