"Mormon" is a nickname usually associated with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints based on their belief in the Book of Mormon as a book of scripture in addition to the Bible. "Mormon" might also refer to members of other churches and offshoot groups within the same movement who also adhere to the Book of Mormon and/or the teachings of founder Joseph Smith.Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints generally don't mind being called "Mormon", but it's more accurate and respectful to call them "LDS" or "Latter-day Saints". Those in other churches and groups within the movement generally don't call themselves "Mormon" to avoid being confused or associated with the more mainstream LDS church.

Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
