Different. US unis first degrees are a lot broader than UK degrees and a lot less depth. Several subjects you arent allowed to study till second degree whereas you can study as first degree in the UK.

You will just have to ask admissions as you dont really give much context. Are you intending to try for your MBA in the UK? They tend to like additional work experience on top, just depends what you have to offer and where you are applying.

Only if yopu have an employer who will sponsor you. It would be even harder for someone from the UK to work in the US.
