Some school's do offer to translate grades and your transcript. Discuss with the school that you are planning to attend whether they are able to do this. If not, I am pretty sure there are many people who are able to do this in the US. Check the school district's office as well.

In general you'll need a degree and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. The degree can be in almost any subject as it is usually required for the visa only so you will find teachers with a degree in Engineering or Sociology. Having said this, to help get the job it's obviously better to be English or language related, for example a degree in English literature. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com).

Many of the big cities, Rome, Milan, Florence have language schools you can attend. Or if you want to go to a less touristic place, check out the 'burbs of the bigger cities, where you would be more apt to have a better "full immersion" class, since there would be less people speaking English and you would HAVE to try to speak Italian.
2 :
Well, if you learn italian in a particular region you will also learn the accent. In Florence and in Rome you will learn a very funny accent (like accent from Georgia or Texas) and people will know where you learnt Italian. In Florence there are a lot of school to learn Italian, you can go to rotonda brunelleschi to learn Italian...and the fastest way is to speack with italian and rent a room with other italian student...and in Florence and Rome is not easy because there are a lot of foreigners..especially from US and Japan..so Avoid american place and you will learn Italian!!!

Apart from attending classes, you can mix and mingle with the locals many of whom may only speak Italian thus you are constricted to learn the language. Also a good language book to read up on won't hurt. It may be difficult at first, but tell yourself "I can do anything I make up my mind to and this includes learnign Italian" Rememebr your Grazie - Thank you and Prego - Please in conversing with the locals
