Why did the Americans think that Japan would never surrender in World War 2?

This is actually a misconception, as Japan had already offered the peace terms that were eventually agreed upon at the conclusion of the war. Specifically, they offered to surrender and declare defeat as long as they could keep their Emperor, which Truman refused, as he needed time to allow for the completion of the nuclear bomb in order to showcase its deadliness to Stalin. When Japan did finally offer unconditional surrender, they were allowed to keep their Emperor anyway.

yes and no. i think the primary goal of Hiroshima was to showcase to the watching world, that a new epoch had been passed. Maybe with the knowledge that it would also take Nagasaki to secure Japan's surrender, they may never have dropped one.

Why was it unecessary to bombard Japan in 1945?
Japan had a policy of Never Surrender No Matter what. It was necessary first to burn Japan cities from the air, and then to drop 2 atomic bombs in order to force Japan to surrender. If Japan had been invaded in November 1945, it probably would have cost 1 Million Allied lives, and 2 Million Japanese lives! Bombing Japan and getting them to surrender saved far more lives than it killed.
