Shiny Pokemon Breeding

Ok, I got a two questions.
1st Question: For the masuda method to work do you need a pokemon from your country to breed with another (example 1) or just two different countries (example 2)
Example1: Your an American
American Pikachu breed with Japanese Pikachu

Example 2: Your an American

British Pikachu breed with Japanese Pikachu

Question 2: if the pokemon you are breeding are shiny do you have an increased chance of hatching a Shiny?

For your first question, you just need Pokemon from two different countries and I think languages as well? So an American/British pair won't work, but your British/Japanese pair would.

As for your second question, no, it does not increase your chances of hatching a shiny.
 
Ok, Thank you. I was just wondering because I got a shiny tyrunt in a wonder trade so I was wondering about the best way to breed it for shinies.
