Can I download the english version and use the code? Even if it came from factory on German languange?

Yes. As long as your version (Home premium, professional, etc.) is the same, and also keeping in mind OEM vs Retail, you can use any other language with the same key.

 

I myself have installed an English version of Windows 7 Home Prem on the same pc using the same key even though it came preinstalled with Dutch Windows 7 Home Prem.

 

I think you can even use OEM keys on Retail ISOs/DVDs, but it might pose a small hassle where you'll have to manually try activation from the Control Panel even though it should already do it automatically.

Can I use this new media refresh links? Is this just updated version with SP1?

You should be fine with an updated install disc that includes SP1, but I'm not sure about Media Refresh. From what I understood, Media Refresh looked like the N versions of windows, which means the key might be different to yours, unless you already have the N version.

 

An N version does not include certain software so the licensing is different, so it needs a different key.

 

EDIT: I was wrong. Media Refresh is not related to N-versions per say.

Go for the media Refresh ones just to be sure, but make sure you download the correct version still!
