Answer 1

You can get married either in the US or in Australia; that's the easy part.  You don't have to be a US or Australian citizen in order to do that.  Here is how marriage is done in Australia:

As for obtaining Australian citizenship, after marriage you can apply for residency.  Here is how that is done:

After you are a resident for at least two years, you can apply for citizenship under the conditions that you are 18 years of age or older, are of good character, have a basic knowledge and grasp of the English language, and are likely to reside permanently in Australia or, at least, maintain a close and continuing association. You must have spent two out of the past five years in Australia with 12 months having been resident there within the last two years prior to submitting the application.
