Yes

While president at Bowdoin, Chamberlain received additional appointments in both education and government which occupied his time off campus. In 1878, he was named U.S. Commissioner of Education to the Paris Universal Exposition. For this event, he, his wife Fanny, and their now grown children embarked on a five-month stay in Europe. Chamberlain would be awarded a medal by the French government for his services in Paris. In 1880.
 
Nope... Although he offered his services to the King of Prussia during the Franco Prussian War, and volunteered for service with the U.S. Army during the Span-Am war.... never rec'd a reply from Prussia, turned down for the Span-Am..

No. He was granted a two-year leave from Bowdoin to study in Europe, but he enlisted instead and joined the Union army. Can't find any evidence of any other travel plans.
