No. It was the only empire to adopt the Orthodox version of Christianity, but the Roman Empire did practice Roman Catholicism at a time. Many other later European Empires also allowed Christianity, heading the crusades and converting parts of present-day Russia. Some examples of such empires would be the British Empire, the German Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the French Empire.

What effect did the Byzantine Empire have on Eastern Europe?

I'm not a historian so I might be wrong, but I believe it had almost no effect on modern day east-Europe. After the Muslims invaded the empire, most of the byzantine culture had been destroyed and by the time constantinopel (the last byzantine city standing) fell, the Muslims had overrun the byzatine culture. Some traces of the byzantine culture can be spotted with orthodox christians. Another point is, that the byzantine empire was centered in the extreme south-east of Europe (in somewhat modern day turkey and Greece), so there was little influence from the byzantine empire to the region of modern day Hungary, Romania, slowakia, Poland,... because the empire was mainly surrounded by the black sea, mountains (the balkans) and open plains (inhabbited).
