Answer
Almost all your questions can be answered by visiting an engineering school website (e.g., U. of Washington - Seattle:  http://www.grad.washington.edu/admissions/college-school.shtml) and following the links to admission requirements and department curricula.  As for jobs, engineering is a very good profession in the U.S. though the current job market is under stress from a weak economy.  Who knows how it will be in a few years.  In the U.S., citizenship is a big advantage for getting an aerospace job because of security requirements in many positions that are very difficult for foreign nationals.  Check the Boeing website as an example of aerospace industry job opportunities for citizens and non-citizens (http://www.boeing.com/careers/).
