Of course, you can use the English recovery CD/DVD.

Would he be able to use the windows activation number on the bottom of his computer for the English version of the Windows XP?

You don't need to activate winxp when you use the IBM recovery CD/DVD (corporate number).

Well, to find an English recovery CD/DVD might be a problem (e.g. Ebay or ask someone in this forum). A corporate number is a serial for winxp which does not need activation, see

No, the installation of a different os can never be a warranty problem
