(W)hat should I look for in the camera (mega pixels, types of zoom, storage, etc)?
If all you want are snapshots, 3 mp (or even 2) would be fine. If you want to enlarge anything beyond 5x7, better get something with 4 mp or up.
Is it cheaper to develop digital pictures than regular film?
If I understand the question, you're asking if it's cheaper to have prints made from digital cameras. The answer, then, is "probably not."
Do digital camera work well at night (this is a big issue with me because my night photo's never come out)?
Generally, no — and certainly not in the price range you're talking about. I often say, "Autofocus doesn't" — meaning the autofocus mechanism on low-end cameras is insensitive, particularly in low light. (This has little to do with digital cameras except that virtually all of them are autofocus-only.) Also, the built-in flash tends to be very weak — usually ineffective at more than about 15-20 feet. Finally, on some digital cameras you can change the relative ISO setting for greater light sensitivity, but again, this feature tends to be only on the more-expensive ones.
If not all digital camera's work well at night, what should I look for in one that does?
See above.
How many pictures could I store on a digital camera on a trip, and would I be able to recharge the battery in the hotel so the camera would last the whole trip?
The first part would vary greatly depending on the shooting mode (RAW or .jpg; RAW is often the default and takes up a hell of a lot more space) and the capacity of the card. It could be a few dozen or hundreds, even thousands.
The second part, in a European hotel, would probably require a voltage converter, as Europe is on a 220-volt system.
