1) If I do choose a nationality other than English, does that affect my ability to manage my English club in any way?
2) How realistic would this be? Are there any international managers in England?
3) What would be some national teams to consider?

To (1), no it won't affect anything regarding your management of your club. I always set my nationality to Canadian and I've taken my club to the Premiership twice.
To (2), I can't say about the conference level, but there are many Premiership manager who aren't English: Arsène Wenger with Arsenal (French), Rafa Benitez with Liverpool (Spanish?), Jose Mourinho is probably another with Chelsea. Even the national team manager is a Swede...
To (3), I don't know what you would like but I've been offered and have accepted the position of Ivory Coast manager and I'm having a blast with them... Weird enough, but Canada could be agood choice, as it's been a long while since their last presence in the World Cup
