No. See http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=cb, which says "License documents are neither needed nor issued and there are no age or citizenship requirements. As long as you use only an unmodified FCC certificated CB unit, you are provided authority to operate a CB unit in places where the FCC regulates radio communications."

In many countries, it is possible to purchase FM transceivers that do not need a license. These are intended for voice walkie-talkie style communication and they use frequency bands reserved for the purpose. All other transmitters need a licence and it would be illegal to transmit in the FM broadcast band (88 - 108 MHz in many countries) without the appropriate license.
No. Except in wartime, radio receiving equipment has never been regulated. Only transmitting equipment is regulated, for the purpose of keeping things orderly enough so that no transmitter will interfere with the signals of another one. Personally, I think some receiving equipment should be regulated, specifically police radar detectors. But that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.
XM is a satellite radio and comes to you via satellite. AM doesn't need to use satellite to broadcast it uses a radio band. If AM needed satellite we wouldn't have had it since the 1920's.
No. You don't need to be licensed in order to buy it. You only have to be licensed in order to use it. (If it has a transmitter in it.)

British citizens who are in Chicago get married the same way as citizens. They need to go to the courthouse or religious figure and attain their marriage license. They will need to have valid IDs.
Yes. Your TV band radio will no longer work. You would need to have a radio with a tuner capable of picking up the new digital TV format. I don't know of any such product currently on the market. Digital radio (marketed under the name HD Radio) is a completely different technology.
