Answer 1

According to Ellis Island, these are your options. Just remember that before the end of WWI, the country lines were different and Austria-Hungary was one giant country that included Bosnia. But if you go to http://www.ellisisland.org and sign up for a free account, you can look at the actual records to see both the town where your immigrant ancestor was born AND the last town where s/he lived before leaving Europe.
