1. NYC or L.A.
2. It doesn't matter from where you mail the book.
3. Famous U.S. authors come from numerous areas of the country, so I don't think that you necessarily need to live in NYC or LA, but I guess if you want to live closer to the publishing companies, then you may want to move to New York or LA just to be close by. Good Luck!!
4. It doesn't matter, but in New York City, you can rub elbows with agent and publishers.
5. It really doesn't matter. As long as you can get to a post office or an internet connection, you're as close to your agent/publisher as you need to be. Books are about good writing, not personalities or proximity.
