Flexible-working varies, where I work I am contracted to work 37.5 hours a week but I can pretty much choose my working hours (eg I work with somebody who is in the office 7:30-3:30) and if people have leave early for some reason then that is fine as long as they make up the hours. Some people have a policy whereby they can save-up overtime hours until they have enough for a whole day and then take that day as an extra days leave.
I have heard that American employers are much tougher than European ones and I was wondering to what extent this was true.

If you are moving to anywhere near Mickey, you'll find plenty of Brit shops. Internet Brit shops also abound -- even Amazon stocks some Brit goods. Be wary of ordering in quantity -- the small ones often have close to sell-by date stuff. Failing that, Cost Plus World Market stocks some foreign goods, as does the Kroger chain.
Many US employers would make the Tsar look liberal. They expect total loyalty but often fail to reciprocate. Husband is unlikely to be able to negotiate anything less in weekly work hours but could negotiate better vacation time depending on his position in the company.
Whether (and when) you can work or not, nobody can say since you still haven't told us what visa you will be on. Flexible working time is unusual.
