It's unlikely that your mate's computer (I'm not sure what an "internet stick" is) has a fixed IP address. Even if it does, if it's behind a router with NAT on (very likely) it's hidden.
It is possible to trace IP and get general information's by using IP trackers such as trackers from: http://www.ipaddresslocation.org http://www.find-ip-address.org But in this situation is not possible to find out your stolen laptop. IP address is assigned to computer from ISP. If person who did stole your laptop use another ISP then he will get another IP address. Anyway i think that it is impossible to track your stolen laptop.
No. For one thing ip address always change, so chances are the ip address already changed. Anyway there is a system called LoJack for Laptop, which is a service that will cause the laptop "phone home" occasionally and use that information to determine where it is at and use that info if a robbery has occurred. However LoJack must be enabled BEFORE the robbery for this to even work.
