Is there a European country that builds a strategic airlifter like the C-17? No, of course not. They are built for the rquirements of European countries. If you want the US to even dream about buying European, they have to make what the US military want.
What do european countries make that meets US military needs?

Can we build heavy lift aircraft?
A380
Alternatively
An-124 Heavy Lift Aircraft
Il-76 Heavy lift Aircraft
A330
In answer to your second question:
T-45 Goshawk (Based on BAe Hawk)
kc-330 (proposed Airbus strategic tanker)
F-35B (Verticle lift fan designed by Rolls-Royce
Fox Piranah NBC vehicle (German design)
And these;
M1 Main Battle tank (Chobam armour British, I believe many other components are foreign as well)
Bradley Armoured Vehicle
M113 Apc
M249 Paladin (all made by BAe owned United Defence)
On another note, Europe does have a rival to the JSF, the Gripen. This is a lightweight capable and affordable fighter that i believe will sell very well, already being exported to the Czech Republic, Hungary and South Africa. It might not be stealthy but it is probably cheaper and it is avaliable NOW.
