Ford Motor Company hires individual companies to make very specific parts and components for their vehicles. I used to work for a Ford dealership in Austin, TX; and I was amazed at looking at each individual part box to see that these parts were made both in the US and throughout the world. From what I have seen first hand, Ford contracts with companies to make each individual part for them with the Ford brand stamped on the part. Ford does its very own quality control for each company that makes their parts. Sometimes Ford itself makes their own parts. It is probably a 50/50, but Ford parts get made in Japan, USA, Mexico are some of the main countries that crank out these parts. Many parts that are made in Japan are electronic modules and controls. Many parts that are made in the US and Mexico are body and collision parts.
One can purchase a transmission for a Ford on sites such as Ford, Ford Parts, The Service Advisor, Auto Pros USA, Got Transmissions, Used Part X and eBay.

Not exactly sure what you are asking. Ford Motor Company of Dearborn, Michigan, USA is the parent company. The manufacturing plants that actually build them are located in several places all over the world.

yes and no. Mazda is Japanese Mazda usa is a sub branch. Mazda usa is partnered with ford. this makes more jobs for Americans. most mazdas in the us are built here or Canada and use some of the same parts as ford. i know the electrical system in my 3 is made by ford. if you look at the wire connectors under your hood you may find that some to most say "fomoco" (ford motor company). this also saves money for ford and Mazda. they don't have to ship the parts from japan. the focus and 3 are pretty much the same car. just look different.
