Yes sir, otherwise your country and the receiving nation has agree to free movement of citizens, it is not there between you two countries.
you get it on arrival, no probs
Yes
only if you dont intend to stay for more than 3 months
Yes, they will give you a little form to fill in when you're nearing the end of the flight. It's very simple, it just asks where you're staying and the nature of your visit, etc. You don't have to get anything before hand.
You don't need to do anything over here. When you are on the plane nearing the U.S, you will be given an immigration card and another card which you must complete for all members of your party. The customs people will take one of the cards and leave a docket attached to your passport and you keep a card which you must present on exiting the U.S

No USA has a visa waiving scheme, you fill in an application which they give you either at check in or on the plane - you do NOT need to go to the embassy!
Uk and USA do take part in the Visa Waiver programme, meaning that normally and under most circumstances, UK citizens do not require a visa to be granted entry on a tourist basis.
However, If you contact the US Embassy Visa helpline, they will tell you that if you have been tried and convicted in a court of law in the UK, you require to appear at the US Embassy in London to ask for a visa.
The information from the Helpline is slightly mis-interpreted.
The key words are 'moral turpitude' (sp) ie, if you have been tried and convicetd of an offence which is not considered morally wrong (take that as you will!) you do not require a visa, and the green card on the plane will be enough.
Be warned - if you do have to go to the Embassy, Its one really long boring day!
