Are you sure you can actually submit that many references if you're applying for a second BA? As far as I know, the application process is exactly the same as for regular undergraduate degrees, and for that you don't need that many references... Anyway, I'd say a reference from an employer only makes sense if your employer is also in a position to comment on your academic abilities - which could be tricky if you're changing to a new subject.
Exam Results
I did not sit for A levels. My SAT results were from 2002 but the UCAS form only allows me to state results from 2003 onwards.
They won't care about your SAT results, really (undergraduate applicants usually get offers conditional on AP results, not a certain SAT score). If you're applying for a second BA, though, the results of your first degree will matter more than school grades anyway, so the fact that you didn't do A-levels isn't really anything to worry about.

What's the best book out there?
Try asking that question in the Law forum.
Is there anything else that I should send in that would support my application? I am non-UK/EU citizen and hail from a Commonwealth country.
What do you mean?
You just complete the forms and that's it.
Which college?
For Cambridge, I am thinking of applying to St Edmund's Hall but should I consider hitting the regular colleges like Pembrooke, King's, St John's etc.?
For Oxford, which college I should I apply to?
Visiting colleges isn't an option for you, I assume? In that case just have a look at college websites etc. and pick whichever appeals to you most. There's no guarantee you'll end up at the college you chose anyway (since you could be pooled or reallocated), so you might as well pick one you like, but don't waste too much time on college choice. If you honestly have no preference, just make an open application and save yourself the trouble of having to decide.

Oxbridge Law with First Degree from American University
I know a lot of people who have done unrelated post-grad degrees. But I guess Oxbridge will be a bit more fussy. Perhaps a law conversion is required, but then again the American system is different again.
