I would say "EU-Nationalism" is an inprovement on French nationalism or German nationalism, say -- it's several orders more inclusive. In a similar way, Eurasianiam is a big improvement on Russian nationalism, not to mention Ukrainian nationalism (barf). I think its existence and flouishing is a healthy sign; that the nationalisms of the former Soviet Block (which led to several bloody civil wars in the 90s', remember?) are melting away.
No Russian nationalist organization would ever have muftis on its board, let alone Jews (which the Eurasia Party does).

It depends on the situation, I would say. Dmitry Glinsky makes a good case that "ex-Soviet" nationalism has more in common with the nationalisms that characterize Third World resistance movements (not that such a nationalism is necessarily a good thing).
In any case, any kind of "progressive" political movement will inevitably come out of the lite-nationalist movement. Non-nationalist leftists simply don't exist in Russia, with a few very small exceptions.
