looks like it sits on top, so this is an alternative to a power base converter?

There's the Mega Adapter, which is the Japanese version of the Power Base Converter, but they're fairly rare so you might be better off getting the ToToTEK converter.

Yes and your Megadrive will not play FM music, so your best and only bet is still a Mark III with FM module or a Japanese Master System (which has the fm module built in unlike Western Master systems :( )

I recently got a Japanese Master System and it is amazing. Outputs RGB normally too. They just don't make em like this anymore.

ToToTEK also makes a converter that lets you play non-Japanese SMS games on a Mark III or Japanese SMS: http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php? ... ucts_id=73
