Nope, I don't think Americans need a visa to enter Singapore. It is located inside the website at http://app.ica.gov.sg that USA visitors, DO NOT require visa in Singapore. Unless they're staying for more than 14 days, they may require to apply for a visa then.
To check out everything, pls visit http://app.ica.gov.sg/index.asp for more details. Then select Travellers' Info Guide*, follow by Entry Requirements and Visa Requirements to see the necessary info.
* Things to NOTE:
All travelers are required to go through immigration clearance on arrival into Singapore.
The granting of social visit passes to visitors is determined by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the point of entry. Visitors must satisfy the following basic entry requirements before they are allowed to enter Singapore:
- A passport with at least 6 months validity;
- Valid Singapore visa, if applicable;
- Sufficient funds to last for the intended period of stay in Singapore;
- Confirmed onward/return tickets (where applicable); and
- Entry facilities to their onward destinations, e.g. visas.
Visitors are also reminded that it is a punishable offence to overstay in Singapore beyond the number of days given. If there is a need to stay beyond the period granted, visitors may apply for an extension of stay online via "e-XTEND" or at the Visitors Services Centre, 4th storey, ICA Building, before the social visit pass expires. Application for extension of stay is subjected to approval.

Nope.
If you're not leaving the airport you won't have to go through customs/immigration, and Americans will be allowed into Singapore without a visa for 30days if you choose to have a look around singapore.
If you need to extend your stay beyond that you can just go across the boarder to Malaysia and come straight back or go to the immigration building beside lavendar MRT and get an extension.
