1. Yes, if you apply and it comes up.
2. Yes, but the outcomes aren't all that certain except that they fall within a range of known possibilities.
3. Hire a lawyer in the US to try to get the matter cleared (including with payment for outstanding liabilities), avoid going to the US, or doing both of the mentioned approaches -- before going to the US.
