Yes, the lenses are compatible. One caveat, though: unless you're spending way more money than you're willing to spend, the sensor's gonna have a 1.6x crop factor. This means that, to get the "35mm equivalent", you need to multiply the focal length of your lens by 1.6. E.g., a 50mm lens will act like an 80mm lens on a digital SLR.
Note that *forwards* compatibility is a bit less thorough. I.e., an EF lens will work on a digital SLR, but an EF-S lens (e.g., the kit lens) won't work on your film SLR.
What're the mysterious diaphragm and AF issues? Might just need to have its contacts cleaned (and it might be an issue with the body rather than the lens)
I'd recommend getting the Digital Rebel XTi. It's well below $1500 (I'm too lazy to look up what that is in frenchy-frou-frou money, but I seem to recall that dollars and Euros are reasonably close to parity, or at least closer than the nearly-2x crop factor that GBP has)
I'd recommend getting the kit lens. Given the aforementioned 1.6x crop factor, the kit lens (which is an 18-55 for the digital SLRs) is a really cheap way to get a real wide angle on those bodies. You've presumably been happy with the kit lenses on your 1000F, so the fact that it's a little lower quality than the over-$500 options for a wideangle shouldn't be too much of an issue for you.
