The definition of complex multiplication on K3 surfaces

I am reading this paper on the complex multiplication of K3 surfaces. It seems that this is only defined for complex K3 surfaces, or K3 surfaces over number fields. Is there a more general defintion ...

Are there CM complete intersections of arbitrarily large degree and codimension?

For every $d, c$ does there exist a smooth complete intersection $X \subset \mathbb{P}^N$ of codimension $c$ and multidegrees $d_1, \dots, d_c \ge d$ such that the Mumford-Tate group of $X$ is abelian?...
