LAPL vs PPL

Im 20 and torn between doing a LAPL or a full PPL here in the UK. I know that the LAPL is cheaper which is why I'm more looking to do that. There are a few questions though.

1)Does the LAPL mean I can only fly the aircraft I train on i.e. Grob tutor or does it mean I can fly the class as in sports cruiser etc?

2)Does the LAPL allow me to fly in Europe? - I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this is yes but I'm just checking.

3)Is there anywhere I can find the exact things that are and arn't allowed on each license?

4)Is there any common aircraft that people fly on general aviation such as mooney etc that I may want to move onto if I have a LAPL but can't. Im aware there is a 2000KG limit was just wondering if there is any aircraft this would exclude me from flying.

Thanks in advance. A lot has changed since I was gliding 3 years ago.
