Answer 1

There's not really a US government agency that's in charge of making that information available. You can use an RSS feed from Currency Source to get information that's about as up-to-date as possible. They claim their feed is updated at least every 20 minutes.

Answer 2

I don't know of a US agency, but the European Central bank releases a daily Exchange Rate feed.

You could use that to convert from USD to Euros and then to anything else.

If you have the money to spend, I would look at XE.com's XE Datafeed too.
