Nowadays it sounds very dated in my opinion.

Of those two, it is closer to the British, but the Kiwi accent has evolved quite a way apart from there so as to be a completely different accent; it is closer to the Australian accent than either American or British.
I think the show asked him to change his voice. Because now he's supposed to be thinner and sexier, so he needs a sexier voice to go with it. But, now his character has no personality and it's ridiculous. PS - if you watch the first season, Abby has a different voice. THAT is her normal voice. They asked her to make it a pitch or 2 higher so she'd sound "cuter." Sad...
No. Audrey Hepburn had an upper class, east coast accent. It does sound faintly British at times.
An American might pretend to have a British accent in order to sound sexier, as it is often perceived as sophisticated and charming.

'Sexier ' is not a word that applies to accents, unless you are astonishingly naive.

The American accent is diverse and can vary based on region. Generally, it is characterized by rhoticity, where the "r" sound is pronounced strongly, and a fairly neutral pronunciation of vowels. However, there are distinct accents in different parts of the United States, such as the Southern accent or the Boston accent.
The A in accent has a short A sound, as in back, and the E has a short E sound (ak-sent).
A heavy ukranian accent will sound russian, a lighter one will sound german.
It is probably because you live in the states now and everyone around you has an American Accent. It is weird for me, because I have a closer British than American accent, and no one I even know has a British accent, so I guess mine is like a freak thing. (and no it is not a lysp or talking difficulty. everyone has actually told me I have a British accent, even British people..)
One word: practice. It is usually easier for young people to adopt an American accent. However, it is not impossible for an adult to eventually speak perfect American English with practice. You'll have to make conscious effort, though.
