Answer 1

1) you can't get a Canadian passport unless you are a Canadian citizen, so you can't get one if you are just visiting Canada and want to go to the US.  

2) If you needed a visa to enter Canada, then you will need a separate one to visit the US.  Only certain countries can go into the US without a visa.  

3) you will need to have a passport from your home country.

Answer 2

Entering the US from Canada when you are not a Canadian citizen is much like entering the US from any other border crossing - unless you fall under the Visa Waiver Program, you would need a visa.

Answer 3

You're talking about two different and sovereign nations. Though similar in many ways, entry to one does not guarantee entry to the other.

Admission to Canada does not guarantee admission to the USA nor vice versa.

It is no more difficult to enter the USA from Canada than from anywhere else.  Many countries have visa-waiver privileges to the USA; many don't.

Remember that Canada and the USA are two different countries. That they are adjacent and both worth touring is irrelevant.

Answer 4

A visitor to Canada needs another visa to cross to USA.

Answer 5

You need to meet the entrance requirements for each country you enter.
