For terrestrial analogue systems (while they still exist) the UK, like most of the rest of Europe, uses a system for encoding the colour called PAL (phase alternating line). The French, however, use a system called Secam (Sequence and memory).
To a television receiver, the two systems are mutually incompatible, so unless you have a television that can switch between the types of signal, you will only be able to receive one or the other.

What are the specs to look for in a video recorder in the UK that will play American videos?
The TV system for the US is different to that of the UK, which is different to France and so on. Some use the same system but not always. I won't go into technical details, but the differences affect the colour and sound content of the video signal. The US television system uses a system called NTSC where as the PAL system is used over here in the UK. (In France they use SECAM). Basically, look for a UK video recorder that supports NTSC playback (you can get more expensive VCR's that will record in NTSC too!). That's it. The picture quality should be okay, but may be a little poor compared to the UK PAL playback.
Can you use a UK ps2 on a US TV?
UK PS2s use PAL format, US TVs use NTSC, which both have different frame rates. If you try to use the UK PS2 on a US TV, the image will flicker and jump around due to this disparity. While many UK TVs can switch to an NTSC mode, the opposite is rare in the US. But you can get a converter box which both devices plug into, you'd have to buy it online.

I would say probably not as TVs here in the UK use the PAL broadcast system to encode/decode colours, whereas in Dominica they use NTSC. I don't believe the two are compatible
