I have two questions about the 404-page:

1) It’s pretty basic. How can I at least add a search field to this page so visitors can try again.
2) I am using WPML to have the site both in Dutch and english. How can I translate the 404 page in english and set that page for english vistitors?

Thanks!

The search page uses the search.php template file.
You can modify that anyway you please in your Child theme preferably.
Depending on the multi-lang plugin you are using you can translate the strings found in the template.

<form class="search" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/" method="get">
	<input name="s" id="s" type="text" placeholder="<?php echo ($s ? $s : __('Search', 'Fortuna').'...'); ?>" value="" style="float: left; padding: 7px 8px 8px;"/>
	<input type="submit" class="" value="<?php echo ($s ? $s : __('Search', 'Fortuna').'...'); ?>"></input>
</form>
