It doesn't have to be a European HN, just HN (as accessed from the EU) would maybe be enough. It depends on whether HN is said to be "operating in Europe" or not. I don't really get how it should be enforced, but being on an American server doesn't protect you from EU (or Chinese or Brazilian etc.) law.
That's a busted myth. Just point the DNS entries for HN to the trash can, and redirect all IP traffic to the correct IP address to same trash can. You'd need a VPN.

What? If the law is unenforceable, you are de-facto protected.
Watch:
Kim Jong Un and Bhumibol Adulyadej are both complete tossers.
I just committed a crime in two nations. What will the effect to HN and myself be? Absolutely nothing.
They'd enforce it by banning the site from the EU netspace.
The internet responds to censorship as damage and routes around it.
