Is the southern dialect the closest to British English of the American dialects?

No, American English is pretty distinct from British English at this point, especially what most people think of as a Southern dialect. The closest dialect of American English to British English (I assume you mean BBC British, because British dialects get more disparate the farther down the social ladder they go) is probably something in New England very near the East Coast, or maybeupper-class coastal Southern English. The problem is that the accents have remained more similar than the dialects have.

Why do Americans love British accents?

I think maybe because it is just different and rare to hear, I live in a small village in northern US and I've only talked to about two people with a British accent while not traveling. Personally I think they are just more attractive than American accents, I'm not sure if it is because I'm American, but they can be more distinguished or sexy depending on the accent. Plus Hollywood really romanticises British accents, usually a British man would be the "white knight" or the attractive love interest in a Romantic comedy.

Is it that people who have grown learning British English end up speaking with a British accent regardless of their nationality?

Not at all. The differences between British and American English are written; accent is an entirely different matter. Think about it: if everyone in the UK suddenly started spelling words using only the American spellings, would their accents all switch?
