As far as I can find, both spellings are correct. Is one american and one british? and which is which?

Also kind of weird that Ambassador seems to be used more, when an Embassy is where they are located.

Same thing, one is a synonym for the other. However, you will rarely see Embassador used these days, I believe it is the Old English form of the word (as used in Chaucer). The two words are interchangable though. An amusing fact, a female ambassador is actually an 'ambassadress'.

So far as I can work out, there's no such thing as an Embassador. An Ambassador may live and/or work at an Embassy, however.

I'm not sure about Embassador, but Ambassador is, by your definition, american.

Embassador looks like French variant...

I've never heard of "embassador" but "ambassador" is the one I would use.

The only difference is the spelling both ambassador & embassador mean the highest ranking diplomat who represents their country
