1. You cannot be a W-4 employee because you have no legal right to work in the US. You can do work on a contract basis. If you are working outside the US, you have no US-source income and only owe based on the laws of your country of residence. You shouldn't get a 1099, but you might.
2. Parties to a contract will perform as long as they are happy. You can specify a governing law and international arbitration in case of disputes.
3. No.

5. If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, the above doesn't apply. Along with Liberia and Myanmar, the US is one of only three nations that tax its citizens' worldwide income regardless of residence.
