I'd assume it's a mixture of rights issues and geo-locking in the host country so as not to cannibalise ticket sales, while also recouping part of the cost of providing the YouTube stream. I'm assuming of course that the host is responsible for providing the stream and that it'll remain free for the rest of Europe.
Yes, but it was slightly different circumstances.
Sheffield were playing away, but they bought/obtained the rights for the streams in the UK. And they then charged their fans to access it.
My memory is a bit hazy on it but I think they might have then added their own commentary over the top to try to validate charging as I think it was accessible for free in other countries?

I think all 4 teams will go in believing they can win.
I would make Nomad Astana slight favourites, depending on who they bring from their vast roster. They beat us in the previous round (despite us actually outplaying them for long spells?) are having a decent season domestically and teams from Kazakkstan tend to do well in the tournament.
Herning finished 2nd a couple of years ago and were probably favourites for their group in the previous round. But they looked to be heading out after losing to Cortina only for the hosts to blow a big lead to the Hungarian team. They are second in the Danish league though.
Katowice topped the other group, have 8 different nationalities in their roster and are currently running away with the league title in Poland. Traditionally, the Polish teams haven't done that well in tournament until Cracovia won it 2 years ago. Previous to that Katowice had Poland's best result when they finished 3rd in Belfast. Worth pointing out that they beat Belfast 4-2 in the earlier round before Belfast gained revenge in the final round - and that was arguably one of the best Belfast teams.
