It may say on the build plate, or the VIN may give it away.
(I don't know about Ford, but with some manufacturers there's a bit of jiggery, where they are actually allowed to base the VIN on the destination country.)
But it's probably not relevant.
As a 2005 Model it most definitely does not have a powershart tranny.
It's difficult to suggest diagnosis without more details of the system.
Being "stuck in gear" is a tranny fault, however having "no power" could simply be the engine.
A relatively common fault with these engines is the stupid flaps Ford put in the inlet manifold. It might pay to check they are moving freely, and check the solenoids are functioning correctly.
Also check the throttle body. Pretty sure the mk2 Focus got the electronic version, but they can still be prone to sticking, so give it a good clean.
