Safer is to use an A/B switch that isolates the two. You would have an additional button to push then. Switches like this are available at Radio Shack...
This information is correct. To get a CE mark on your device, you'll have to design it and have it tested to that standard. This means that your device will have many tests performed at 440 VAC.
That's a local building code issue, amber. If the dorm was built a long time ago, the wiring may well be "grandfathered". In most cases, unless there's a very major rennovation in the building, the rewiring is not necessary. Call the codes enforcement department in the city and ask...
