It'll be stormy, but blow through quickly. Nothing like a tropical hurricane, there won't be the warm water to feed it.

Still, likely a strong storm. Similar to Sandy which was declared extra-tropical shortly before it went in. The classification didn't change the danger.

To the best of my knowledge, only 1 tropical system has hit Europe. A tropical storm in that hell year 2005 went into Portugal

For Solution 1, Ireland might get some rain, but noting like the Carolinas got. Solution 2 is roughly what your WeatherUnderground prediction is - with it going to the Iberian peninsula.
