A Wii from the US will play in Europe, but you would need to buy all the games from US as well. Each of those games is coded for a region of the world and will only work with a compatible system coded from that region. That is the same for PS3s and Xbox 360 and many DVD and Blu-ray Players.

If you buy an English wii game can it be played on an American bought wii?

No it cannot be played. Europe uses the PAL format and a US Wii is in NTSC. Because the Wii is region locked, the two video modes are separate and cannot be played in the separate countries. Indeed you can't play region locked games,but there is a way around this which let's you play region locked games and even backed up and imported games. However this does mean your Wii will not be under warrenty from Nintendo and if your Wii breaks or bricks, Nintendo might not provide support for you.
