In response (big time spoilers from end of series):
Not quite, Ed's world is a parallel universe. It looks like his world split off because of what his Father and Dante did 400 or so years before. Ed's world is in the 1910s by our calender while "our" world is a few years ahead, 1920s. All of this is covered in the last few episodes.

Y'know what ticks me off? I started out watching the first five or six episodes of this show on CN, then got a job that caused me to work overtime on Saturdays for a few months. Now, I've got no chance of understanding the plot, and it'll likely be a long time before they show repeats. :/
I guess I could just go trolling for fansubs...

Spoilers and stuff-
Ed's world is a parralell world to ours. Instead of developing technology like ours did, they developed alchemy, which is their equivalent to science. There is a bridge between the two worlds, the big black gate where souls are housed. If you see that gate by trying to ressurect a human through alchemy, you a) make a hommunculus b) can preform transmutations without the use of circles. The hommunculus is the person you tried to ressurect, but not. I forget the exact specifics, but the power of alchemy draws on something from our world. I think it was souls. Traveling to our world requires going through the gate. Ed's dad and dante transmuted an entire city i believe in order to make a philosopher stone, which stunted the development of the entire world. The colonel who starts to unravel the secrets and then dies is one of the saddest moments ever, and totally unexpected when it happens.
I can't remember exact details, because I watched the japaneese version a while ago. From what I can tell the American version is pretty close, but the Japaneese version is better because there are things that are lost in translation. If you watch anime regularly, you'll find out that though some of them are for children, they are far more thought provoking than any american cartoon.

Just picked up the manga volume 1.
How close does the anime follow the manga?
Berserk was pretty close but removed Puck (and Skull Knight)and added some other elements in the manga vs anime bits.

Um ...
Thinking about Nina still makes me shiver. And shiver hard. That was the most emotional point in the series for me. The end doesn't cause me emotional pain -- its mostly just bizzare. That might be because I was watching about 10 of them a day, and I might have been a tad jaded by that point. I kept waiting for something as painful as Nina to happen again. But it didn't.
Anyway, through what are obviously completely legal means, I've got all of them with fan-subs sitting on my harddrive. The entire series is not quite 9 gigs.
I've heard you can find them on Kazaa. Or at least bittorrent.
