Answer 1

If you have an American passport you are an American citizen.

The documentation required to obtain an American passport is proof you are indeed a citizen, unless ofcourse, the passport was obtained illegally.

Sorry, I didn't read all. You need to know which state you were born in or which American Consulate your birth was registered with. Contacting one of the 2 should solve your problem. Info is available on the internet.

Answer 2

just learn to remember your passport number, or keep the number in a safe place. so if you ever lose your pasport you can easily get another one. Your passport is evidence that you are a US citizen.

Answer 3

if you acquired US citizenship as a child, you got an FS-240 Report of Birth Abroad of an American Citizen.  If you were older, you just got a passport, but are also entitled to a certificate of citizenship if you want one.  

Here is the page with info on how to replace the FS240:
