No and no, respectively.

Some Tokusatsu shows were aired in my country (France) when I was a kid in the 80's. The very first one I saw was "Message From Space" (it aired two or three times between 1979 and 1982), then we had Gavan in 1983 and later Bioman in 1985 (5 or 6 more Sentai series followed after that).
What bring me back to Super Sentai and tokusatsu was a screenshot of Gokaiger with a hundred guys in spandex that I came across randomly on a website. "Do they really still continue to make those shows after 30 years ?" Yes, they do.

When MMPR emerged, it was aired the next year in France, then I was a teenager and had zero interest in the genra at the time.
I never take the time to watch directly any PR related stuff, I watched Linkara "History of Power Rangers" to have a idea of the US counterpart of Super Sentai. Not the other way.
