During installation I kept the USB drive I used. If my friend receives only a key (same version), can they use my USB copy to install it? Will it recognize the number key? It's a new build—do I need to connect the Ethernet cable? It should work even if the Ethernet driver isn't installed yet. Just note that this is the French version, and since I got it from Dreamspark for free in Canada, Québec, it might make a difference.

It seems the "GLOBAL" edition on G2A is likely the most affordable option available.

When you purchase Windows, you're mainly acquiring the CD key. The actual software remains identical across each Windows edition.
