Oddly, my only pups who have the potential for the whole, "Hey, you're from X!" thing would be Tim and Chandler. In that Friends probably existed in Tim's universe, and in that case, Chandler would roll his eyes and walk away.
Tim, however, is very likely to recognise a fair amount of people in the bar. Surprisingly, he's had a lot of tact about keeping his mouth shut, though.
There's been some sort of fandom speculation that most, if not all of the Pegg/Wright/Stevenson creations all exist in the same universe, which means Tim and Nicholas have ever potential to run into one another in London.
Everyone else? Either too damn crazy to exist in one another's worlds, or the timelines are too skewed for the source material to exist in the other worlds.
As for the first question, I've actually put a lot of thought into this for some of my pups.
I see Nicholas as a fantasy reader. Lord of the Rings, the Once and Future King... even the Princess Bride. It's something that he's held onto from his childhood, when reading became a form of escapism for him after his uncle turned out to be an epic wanker.
Tim's totally into Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror. This much is canon. He's probably also read about those filthy Hobbitses, and I'd bet he owns every single Star Wars novelization ever printed.
Chandler's also a bit of a Sci-Fi/Fantasy guy, for similar reasons as Nicholas. It was escapism as a kid, and he just never outgrew the genre.
Teller reads, but little of it is in English. He's more into the Classics. The books on his shelves that aren't magic books are all in Latin, Greek, or French (with a few exceptions, like Poe). He also got curious once and read the Bible cover to cover, but not an English translation.
Gus and Rusty probably read when they're *really* bored, but it's been years since either of them have finished a book.
Jools hasn't done any real reading since school. He doesn't have the attention span, and he always gets confused and frustrated too easily.
Harold's the only wildcard on this one, and my only pup for which I've never written any fic. I can really see him going either way on this one, though I've not really had a whole lot of time to get to know him yet, so I'm not terribly certain as to what he's into.
