Dunno about finding the box locally. Might try the usual suspects like
Radio Shack or Best Buy. Best buy has one for $64 here:

Radio Shack as one for $85 here:

Might be others around where you live.

So you'll need two adapters. One is the HDMI or DVI to VGA and the second is
the VGA to NTSC box to trick your Mac into thinking there is a monitor hooked
up.
Nope. Not accessible at all. This is the same problem with Firefox. The Mozilla
folks support the open Iaccessible2 API which is not implemented on OSX. Apple
already has a perfectly dandy accessibility API but Mozilla has no intention of
supporting a second platform-specific API since iAccessible2 works on both
Windows and Linux. So the standoff leaves all Mozilla apps unusable on OSX for
now. Different story on Windows as FF with IAccessible2 and NVDA or Jaws is
somewhat the gold standard for good web accessibility support such as ARIA.

Lots of times thrift stores will have old ones that work well enough. They don't even
need to turn on really because the sense pins are just resistors connecting certain ones
together. They used to sell "vga terminators" but every site I found either
discontinued them or they were permanently out of stock. Another option I've documented
before was to get a VGA to NTSC/PAL adapter. It will appear to be a VGA monitor to your
Mac whether you hook it up to a TV or not. I got one from here for about $27 plus
shipping:
