US Army Air Corps May 1942 in England
Throughout the war the number of American Troops continued to grow in response to the position of the war. By August 1918, there were nearly 1,500,000 American troops in the European Campaign.
The first pitched battle that American Troops fought in during WW1 was the German Spring Offensive of 1918 (operation Michael). The Germans wanted to win the war quickly before the presence of a number of American troops on the western front could be felt. However, the Allies suceeded in delaying the German advance long enough for the Americans to arrive. When they did arrive, American troops were used to plug the line as they arrived where the lines were thinly held or had suffered excessive casualties. Innit.

No, they arrived primarily in France, where the front lines were. Some US forces were in Siberia during the time, as well, although their purpose wasn't necessarily related to the war.
Mostly by Train and Ship. Later by truck and foot.
