Yes, the TE420B will fit.  It's a 4-port T1/E1/J1/PRI card with echo
cancellation on-board.  It only fits in PCI Express slots.

No, none of our PCI Express cards are low-profile (as far as I know)

You would need to ask your vendor whether or not the PCI-X slot is a 3.3
volt or a 5.0 volt slot.  I'm guessing it's 3.3 volts, but that's just a
guess.

Here's a link to a decent article explaining the difference between PCI
and PCI Express slots, if you're interested.
