In general, getting into a german university is easy with good grades and still possible otherwise. It varies a lot between universities and subjects though. Bachelor level is usually in german. Master level can be done in english but much is in german, too. Without knowing the german language you will have a hard time. If you know the basics in advance and take a language course here, you should be fine. Accredited in the US? I don't really know. We have a student exchange program with the CMU and that works well. For job hunting it is probably MIT/Stanford/Harvard XOR the rest. (I am working in the computer science department at the german university KIT, which is one of the best for computer science along with TUM, Saarland and RWTH)
