Is this normal? Drove across Europe and unless the motorway surface was perfect, the car tended to pull slightly to either side depending on camber of the road, and other imperfections. Rather tiring when driving for hours.

The front tyres are showing more wear on the inside edges (i.e. seems like the suspension is set up with a fair bit of camber) - again, is this normal? Would fitting the tyres "inside out" be a good or a very bad idea? If possible at all, that is.

Thanks for any help...

A symptom of more camber is a tendency for the car to "hunt", following the cambers of the road. If it really annoys you then get the alignment changed!

Thanks. However I was under the impression that only the GT-series had adjustable suspension? Mine is a TT. Is this so?

The geo needs adjusting so it is less extreme....your tyres will also hopefully last longer wearwise as they shouldnt shoulder the inside edges off. I suggest you have a 4wheel alignment rather than just the front axle tracking & take it to a specialist who knows what they are doing.
