I always find Crucial's Selector tool the best guide, although you can usually find out by opening the case and taking a look or checking for your mobo's name under the manu's website too. If you use the selector tool Crucial guarantee compatibility as well as giving you the usual lifetime warranty and free P&P.
I'm afraid not. It's been a long time since DDR (PC2100, PC3200 etc) was more expensive than SDR (PC100, PC133) ... it's been ages since mobos have even had SDR slots on them, KT266A and up were DDR only. SDR is 168pin while DDR is 184pin. With nForce2 400 starting from £37 (DabsV/Biostar at Dabs) it makes sense to consider upgrading the mobo as well as the RAM. KT133+256MB_PC133=£47 while nForce2+256MB_PC2700=£70.
