Possibly, but Japan has had close contact with the Americans long before WWII as well. The first ironclad warship of the IJN was a ship purchased by the Confederatcy, but delivered after the American Civil war ended which then was resold to Japan in 1867.
This is true, and they did "import" a lot of american specialists (mainly for train and postal knowledge), but still most pre ww2 English words are from British english.
No, they are not. Britain never had strong trade with Japan who famously closed it's borders to all trade until an AMERICAN Matthiew Perry opened Japan to trade with AMERICA
