No.
The US is particularly bad at managing transactions in anything other than dollars. The recipient at best will have to pay a large fee, if their bank is able to cope with it at all.
Get a bank draft made out for them in dollars. Any high street bank in the UK will do this easily.

I am afraid not. Your cheques are in British pounds, the bank does not recognise any other currency other than that. I have had the same problem sending cheques to Australia that were refused and in the US itself when I lived there for a while. You can work out the conversion rate and send the amount in British pounds.

Write the amount used by the originating bank--your bank (pounds). The receiving bank will automatically convert to the dollar (assuming it's in the US or related).

I believe yes, back in the old days, we used to write cheques in foreign countries, it was always in the local currency, then the banks would rip us of on the conversation rate, some things dont change!

Yes. You can write it in pounds or dollars. Banks do currency conversion.
