Whilst Commodore were a big producer of Calculators, Chuck Peddle made a Kit with the MOS 6502 chip ( the very same one that Futurama's Bender has in his head!)
$245 got you the kit, and they proved very popular as they were cheaper than the Altair.
Was this sold globally or just in Europe?
I think it was just the state, some made it to europe. It's the PETs father.

Yes they were, it was also the origin of the three letter name KIM, PET, VIC and CBM.

Except in Germany where they dropped the 'i' from Vic as thats a slang term for your John Thomas.Â
