Yes, because Australian and British actors often must fake US American accents perfectly to get roles in Hollywood. Margot Robbie, Tom Holland, etc.

Less than you'd think. Most Australians don't sound like Crocodile Dundee, and the educated/upper class Australian accent is quite neutral/unobvious to American ears.

The tell-tale sign of Australians is the "r" sound they add to the end of everything.
