As far as the statistics go this site will answer those better than I and depending on how you want to count the final tally the # of deaths will vary so please goto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties for an in depth review.
Remember that the American forces didn't join WWI until much later due to political reasons and a populace that didn't see the war in Europe as "their problem". Eventually there were enough reasons to compel the President to declare war and enter the war. See the Zimmerman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram) note, unrestricted submarine warfare and the sinking of the Lusitania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania) for more information about these.
The answer about how the casualties compared vis a vis the U.S. vs. is a short one. TheU.S. lost far fewer people. I imagine much like WWII the perceptions of Europe was that the world was very much upside down and in great turmoil.
Also after WWI there were several issues which created (in many people's minds) the Second World War. Examples include the cessation of land back to France and oppressive reparations required by Germany and a lack of flexibility in the Versailles treaty. The treaty was never even ratified by the U.S. Senate it was so controversial and Wilson's "14 points" was a source of contention throughout. This of course is a very truncated answer which would require hours of conversation to thoroughly discuss.
Treaty of Versailles information can be found here.

Why did America suffer fewer casualties in World War 2 than many other countries?
In World War II, America suffered fewer casualties than many other countries (and other major combatants) for several reasons. The most important is that America did not enter the war until over two years had passed. Another reason is that American military leaders generally committed to tactics whereby as much territory could be gained with as little human cost as possible. This commitment entailed the assembly of massive firepower-support for all operations, which frequently led to success with lower casualties than would otherwise have been possible.
