I have a good bit of leaves in the fall that gets on my pool cover. Will this get clogged up fairly easy and not pump good?

I have a large tree near my pool and leaves frequently fall onto the cover. Clogging has not been a problem for me. It wont suck them up into the hose but they seem to collect around the bottom of the pump.

I have a wayne pump that is constantly having its weep hole plugged and it stops working until I clear it. does this little giant have the same issue?

The weep hole on the Little Giant also gets plugged.I solved the problem by stretching a large size pantyhose over the entire pump, made openings for the cord and hose connection and used hot melt glue to keep them from fraying.The stocking blocks out all of the small stuff since it acts like a filter,but it'll only last for one season.I've been doing this for several years and it works great.In fact I need to do it tomorrow for this coming off season.I also have a leaf net over the top of the winter cover and the cover pump is between the winter cover and the leaf net.

Can it be used in Norway (230v)?

Check with mfr, they also make a 230V 50HZ CE version

DO you think could be used as an auxiliary bilge pump on an 18 foot boat sitting in a wet slip in case the 12volt system pump stops working?

That is a great idea. I've got a leaky 26' skiff that may be a candidate for an aux. pump, if it will fit through the hatch opening into my bilge. The wide base may be a problem but it's perfect for a pool cover.
