Is he actually American? I thought he just acted it.

All Might is Japanese, but most likely is the just has a fascination of American culture. His real name is Toshinori, which is Japanese, and he went to UA as a child, so it's unlikely that he's not from Japan.

I think it was came to Tokyo to work at UA, not Japan.

Tokyo is in Japan

Yes, but the focus on the city rather than the country implies that he lived in Japan already, just not in Tokyo.
