Mains voltage in the UK can vary tremendously and most equipment these days will work anywhere from 220-240v

The USB will work as it's just a 5v regulator dropping down the 12-24v dc so it doesn't even go through the inverter itself.

As for the truck the 12v supply is probably current limited, that will depend on if it's fed by a drop down circuit or just attached to one battery (instead of the two batteries) If fed via a drop down circuit then there will never be enough power to feed the inverter as it'll be designed for simple charging phones/running satnavs and other low power equipment.
