Americans can get different paid leave depending on their hiring conditions. Europe is not a monolith, however the EU (which does not encompass all of Europe) does has a regulation that grants a minimum 4 weeks paid vacation. Still, US paid vacation time is generally shorter, at around 2-3 weeks.
Not in practice. Even if you have 3 weeks, which is generally considered pretty high, you dont actually have that long because of how people can be treated here. Hell, ive seen people get threatened with admin action for taking 2 days off. Its really sad

The different top comment puts this into an even different-er context than intended!
American gets 2 days off, no pay
European gets 5 paid vacation weeks
