Generally you can buy the Tchibo "Internet Stick" online and in any Tchibo shop, but that bundle is not a permanent offer but is only sold during promotions. So hurry up as it could be sold out and it could take weeks until they start another promotion. Until now Tchibo has sold the stick three times (in December 2008, February 2009 and in April 2009).
As we are in a prepaid GSM forum, the offer of course is without any contract. So you can buy it and use it without any obligation. You just need to register with Tchibo upon purchase, which isn't a problem even for non-residents.

2) With 50€ I get the USB modem, the prepaid SIM and 10GB of traffic within one month from activation.
Yes. But keep in mind, that the USB modem is netlocked. If you want to use with another SIM card than O2 Germany's, you'll need to unlock it for € 15.

3) Finally, I just havo to plug the SIM into the USB stick, the stick into my notebook, install required driver/software and activate the account to be able to surf for 1 month/10GB well and fast enough?
Yes, just plug in the stick and the access software including drivers will automatically start to install. 10GB is more than enough for a month and bandwidth depends on network coverage. If you are within 3G coverage, you'll get up to 3.6 MBit/s, while you'll get 200 KBit/s in the regular GSM-network.
