When you leave the US, you must reach the I-94 form you filled and was sealed by the Immigration officer at your arrival, to the airline you are flying with. They will forward it to the US Immigration Authority.
Doing this, they will know how long you have stayed in US Territory.
If you've lost your I-94, you will receive a new one to be filled during your flight, and the information given have to match with that in your passport, otherwise you will get in problem when trying to make a new entry to the US

It is increasingly difficult to hide the fact that one has overstayed a US visa. But it can be done, the more so since the basic responsibility for documenting departure is on the air or sea carrier or, on the Canadian land border with the Canadian immigration inspector (on the Mexican one with the US inspector).
There's a new scheme for self-registering a departure on machines located inside the secure departure area of airports but it's not mandatory.
Your passport may or may not give a hint that you overstayed in the USA: but an EU/EEA/Swiss passport will not be stamped on return to Europe. On the other hand, airline reservations and departure data are available to USCIS and other federal authorities if they wanted to look.
It is not generally possible to extend a visa waiver visit (there apparently are de facto extensions in case of hospitalization, etc.); on the other hand a B-1/B-2 visa is extendable for cause. Why risk subterfuge? Unless the visa was in fact issued by mistake or misrepresentation.

It depends on the amount of time you are considered out of status. However, in general, if you stay in the US, you run the risk of being arrested and deported. If you leave the US and attempt to re-enter with the current visa, you run the risk of being stopped at the Port of Entry and being turned around, back to your point of departure. The Laissez-faire attitude for immigrant violators is long past. Your best course of action is to return to your country of origin and apply for a new visa.

No you wouldn't. If you stay longer than you are allowed, you get in big sh!t. Don't mess with American laws because they enforce em here. And I suggest you do a spell check when filling out your application for the visa.
