The meteors will hit the side of the Earth facing the constellation of Leo. That is why they are called the Leonids. You should be able to see meteors any time the constellation of Leo is above the horizon. Since Leo rises around midnight this time of year, that means you need to look after midnight. There is a prediction of a very brief flurry of more than the usual number of meteors to occur at a time before Leo has risen for people in the U.S. but Europe should get a good view. Us Americans may have to be content with just a few meteors per hour. But you never know, the predictions could be wrong!

Nowhere. A "meteor" is the visible trail in the sky of a "meteoroid". If a meteoroid reaches the earth's surface it is a "meteorite". Since the meteoroids comprising the Leonid group occupy a large volume of space which intersects earth's orbit, the chances of meteorite occurrence are, for all practical purposes, equal for every location on earth.

I don't think many, if any at all, actually hit earth. Most the time they just burn up in the atmosphere. The ones that do hit earth are called meteorites.
