An American applicant does not have to speak "fluent" English. They just have to be aware of the English language (because the citizenship test is in English). Although, in some States in the US there are plenty of tests that are given in other languages. And in the State of Kansas...where I have family (I live in Oklahoma, just to the south) their driving test, if you don't speak English or can't read (yeah you'd think that be important for driving) is pictures. I'm not kidding. A family member of mine works for the motor vehicle dept and has to give people the written tests (they still have to take an actual driving test...the written test just gives them a permit to drive with a licensed driver).

No. At least in the US, English is NOT the official language (there is none in the US Constitution), so it would not be possible to request from applicants to learn it.
