You cannot apply in advance for a SSN or ITIN number before you enter the US.
You can apply for a SSN if you have your work permit or your Green Card.
There are different types of SSN cards issued, depending on what grounds you need the card for. eg: For work purposes only or not valid for employment etc etc
How to obtain a SSN and what documents you need to take are listed here: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#how
It also tells you all the information you need about them.

The only way you'll be able to get an ITIN from the IRS is if you're not a U.S citizen and do not qualify for a SSN.
Alien taxpayers who need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may be able to secure one from outside the United States.

Yes. If you have a valid work visa, then you can apply for an SSN. Otherwise, for tax purposes, even as a nonresident you can apply for an ITIN.
You can't apply for it until you're actually in the country.

What makes something observed as something. somebody got here up with a acceptance for human beings and now we together call ourselves human beings (as far as English is worried). How are we different from different issues? we glance different, we've different genes, we've different features, and a few might say we gained the breath of existence from God. What makes us human in the jap way of thinking? A human that conforms to the societal norms. Even the bible says you're a beast in case you supply your self as much as sin.

yes, only if you have a visa to work here. Forget it if you're coming as a tourist.
