Yes, I also use an US keyboard (an Apple US Keyboard, in fact, both in Linux and Mac) for Spanish text.

That I don't know (copy-paste?). But I usually enter UTF-8 characters with C-X 8 RET; for example, to get an em dash,

    C-X 8 RET em dash RET

or, to get an Â, as per Peter's table,

    C-X 8 RET 00C2 RET.
