When I was young I learned that fence facing etiquette is to have the
pretty side of the fence facing outward towards your neighbors. My
questions:

(1) Is this a law in places?
(2) Is this the same etiquette in the UK?

Yes, in some places. Maybe most places.
Besides, putting the ugly side of the fence to the outside may provide
easier access to your property by neer-do-wells using the horizontals as
a foothold.
