Answer 1

The US has treaties with many countries that provide for like-kind credits into each other's social security systems for each other's citizens when legally living and and working overseas. Check with the American Embassy in London; they used to have a Social Security representative there who would be able to answer your questions.

Answer 2

dont think so, only commonwelth countries can ur pension or tax be paid to go visit the inlandrevenue.gov.uk web page.
