Are flights within Europe any different from the US in regards to carry on items?
Also...non flight question...is iced tea highly available in cafes/restaurants, mainly Paris and Almafi/Rome areas?

Greetings
With regards to liquids, it's exactly the same. Otherwise there is no overall agency like the TSA, so the rules are up to each airline and each airport. Which means that it's really the call of the personnel at the security checkpoint since airline staff don't check your bags.
If you are referring to numbers and weight of items, you have to check with your airline. Disount airlines will allow less etc.
I don't know about France or Italy, but I don't think iced tea as such is very common in Europe. You can always get regular tea, add ice and sugar.

The only iced tea we've seen in both places is the canned stuff from Nestea, usually extra-flavoured with a hint of lemon or, believe it or not, peach. It's pretty weak stuff.
Amy, you won't find iced tea in Paris like you do in the US. They have the canned stuff, or sometimes powdered, but not brewed. But they have lots of other delicious things - you won't miss it!
In France and Italy, I rarely recall seeing ice, let alone cold tea.
As for prohibited carry-on items, most of what applies here, applies there; though I often saw that corkscrews were prohibited in Europe, but allowed here. Point being, it is possible you will clear security in the US but get stopped in Europe.
If you're into Iced Tea you could always travel with the single portion mixes they have out now and add them to your water bottle? They even have flavoured ones that aren't bad.
I take those with me all the time as standard kit.
