Yes Infra PE is a whole segment - best to start off in Infra or P&U IB.

Depends how "underdeveloped" you want to go. Plenty of infra PE work happening globally, the true developing countries with very little infrastructure (i.e. parts of Africa or the Middle East) are less given those are riskier plays with a lot of barriers - political issues in many areas, limited liquidity, corruption/project risk, etc. The World Bank does a ton of infra work in those countries where PE-style investing is less feasible.
