Yes, a Region 2 DVD can be NTSC, from a technical point of view, DVD's regions have nothing to do with PAL or NTSC. I've made bunch of Region 2 DVDs in NTSC and they work amazingly on any DVD player.
When you see 59,94 fps instead of 29,97 it's normal, the reason is that video is interlaced on most of DVDs. When a video source is interlaced we don't talk about frames but fields. Basically, two fields constitute a frame. So instead of having 29,97 frames per second you have 59,94 fields per second.
And for your TV you have to know that lots of TVs "crop" between 5 and 10% of the full picture you can normally see. This is called "overscan".
Finally, these black fuzzy bars you can see on some images are called "mates" this is due to the lens hood that is mounted on the camera. Another time, MITM was intended to be in 4:3 so it's normal that you can see some random objects in the background.
