Your statement of "any computer" is too undefined. The answer to your 
first question as you wrote it is NO. But if we define "any computer" as
"any 386 type of computer" then the answer is yes. Note: Not all PC's 
manufactured have option to boot from USB stick or use the 386 type of CPU.

Your second question is wrong. FreesBie has same limitation as Freebsd.
"any 386 type of computer" with USB stick boot option then the answer is 
yes.

There are other versions of Freebsd for the other CPU types of Pc's. If 
you use one of those other versions for CPU type then your USB stick can 
only run on PC's of the same CPU type.

All of Freebsd run time configuration files are in /etc
/etc will be on your USB stick Freebsd system and will be the ones you 
are modifying.
