After the eradication of smallpox, the last samples of smallpox were kept for academic research in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US and State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology in Russia. Both these institutions are under heavy guard to avoid the possibility of the theft of the samples for biological warfare.
Death from smallpox was iffy, and slow. There were two different strains of smallpox, one causing about 1% fatalities, the other about 30%. The disease caused scarring of the skin and blindness in many of it's victims, and death may occur as a result of secondary infection. In 1979, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been eradicated from the planet through a program of vaccination. There have been no cases since then, and it is the only disease that has been eradicated.

Smallpox originated in "the Old World" (Eurasia and Africa) and was brought to "the New World" (the Americas) by Europeans. So, basically, no. US troops didn't "bring smallpox to Europe" because it was already there.
