None of these countries have voting rights or veto power. They get access to free trade, but it's on the EU's terms.
As for the EUR, it's better than 95% of the currencies it replaced. It still sucks because it's fiat of course.

I do agree that free trade and political union are two different things. As is freedom of movement. There are potential benefits when you combine them, but also trade-offs.
I don't think we'll ever have all three between the EU and US. Probably never even free trade (compared to how free domestic trade is).
