... but that would require me to do a lot of potentially-miscalculation fraught work on my own:

Is it possible to have a geostationary (or europastationary?) orbit around Europa, and if so, at what altitude from the surface of the moon woudl that be?

The only way to do this would be to put the object in orbit around Jupiter in close proximity to Europa. This would work for satellites ahead of and trailing Europa. Any other position would require constant adjustments to maintain position.
