Morally, yes, in practice that’s not how our economy generally works, this is a gigantic can of worms from cobalt mines to work safety in Asian textile factories and back and forth and into a gazillion places. Germany has recent legislation about this but AFAIK it’s the only such legislation in the world.

Well, countries’ laws, with some exceptions, only have authority within their own borders.

The German version is kinda only a proof of concept and saying to the rest of the EU “we’re serious about this shit”.
The actual goal is [a EU-wide version which is in the pipeline], actually stricter (because Parliament wills it). It will apply to any company >250 employees with a net turnover of 40M in the EU (or world-wide for EU companies). And it’s very hard to ignore the EU when you want to make money at scale, see the Brussels effect.
