Europeans doing this is something new to me. Where in Europe is it common?

Austrians do it ("einspänner" and "melange") - Germans and French will have that (called "wiener" style or "vienois"). Italians have their "Espresso con panna" (literally: "Espresso with cream") - would also use. The Swiss will often take their coffee with cream too. In Czech republic it's "kafe se šlehačkou", in Greece it's common in capuccinos or added at will to black coffee.

Whipped creme is perhaps the most common form (cream + sugar whipped).

Not sure about "half and half" though, think that's just an American thing / product.

The Viennese often add whipped cream on top.
In Finland it's customary to have cream for coffee in "fancy" situations.

At home everyone just drinks it black or with (oat)milk. But if you want it to taste better, just add a bit of cream =)
