Answer 1

Usually Duty free applies to the departure airport, which means you could buy it in the Duty free shop in your US Airport of departure, not India.  You will have cleared customs in India before you see a shop.

I've seen very few duty frees that carry that level of equipment in the US, you are probably going to have to get it at your local best buy and pay the applicable taxes.  Besides, duty frees are usually not such a great deal on other than high taxed consumables for countries that don't have a VAT (like the US).
