    Your biggest issue will be citizenship.  You must be a US citizen at the time of commissioning.  Unfortunately, to become a pilot in the USAF you must be selected before the age of 30.  Unless there is a way to become a citizen and earn you comission before you turn 30, I doubt you will be able to fly for the USAF.

    Yes, if you get citizenship and are able to complete Officer Training School before your 30th birthday, you could get a pilot slot (precluding factors I don't know about).

    Yes, getting a PPL would help.  (That's not your biggest concern now.)
