Does a 1-month unlimited all-countries first class Euralpass entitle you free at-seat dinners/drinks/newspapers on ICE Sprinter?
*edited to avoid prosecution*routes that ICE Sprinter operates on.
what about the same pass, except 1-country(Germany-only) or 2-country(Germany & * * * )?
sorry for such a newbie question!

The answer to all these questions is no - except for the free newspaper (I've only seen business newspapers available in first class on the ICE). There are free drinks available in the first-class lounges at main DB stations, but a Eurailpass doesn't get you access to them.
(note: I'm not confirming or denying that this may or may not have occured)

As I recall, the ICE Sprinter comes with a supplement for Eurail Passholders.
So, presuming you paid the supplement, you also paid for your meal.

And on the ICE Sprinter, there is a supplement to pay - 16.50 in 1st class which includes the meal and reservation. This is one of the handful of German trains on which passholders have to pay a supplement.

Since the ICE Sprinter is a domestic train within Germany, any pass including Germany is good.
