Help with opening a US bank account for non-resident

Hi James, Team and all, I'm going to be in the US for almost a full month in November and I want to open a US bank account to get paid by US companies. I have a few questions:

Which are my best options in terms of traditional banks and why?
Can I use an international address to receive my debit cards or anything else like documentation etc. from the bank?
Can anything crazy happen that would require me to go back to the US to get something sorted, unblock my account or seek assistance?
Is three weeks enough time to get everything up and running?
Will I have any issues with IRS and taxes if I don't live in the US?

Thank you for your help!!!

Angelos.
