If you need an NDA, looking at templates online isn't a bad place to start, but ideally you should work with a lawyer who can write a simple NDA for you or tweak the one you have. You may be able to find someone in your community who can do it for a few hundred bucks.
NDAs can be enforced internationally depending on the jurisdiction and the laws that will apply to the NDA. There is a general understanding that each overseas party your business is engaging with will have its own rules and jurisdiction regarding the enforcement of NDAs.
