Hello there!

Jumping straight into answering your questions:

1. You select where you're going to be using it, where you're buying it from is irrelevant... They're all made in China, anyway

2. Yes, and you can always get back into it via the WiFi icon on the menu bar at the top or via system preferences if you ever do need to set-up a WiFi connection.

3. You don't actually need one of those to set-up your Mac, unless you're planning on using iCloud or downloading Apps from the Mac App Store - although if you have an iTunes account that is a general Apple account and you can just use the same login credentials. Yet again, if you don't set it up on the first run, it can be configured later-on; just go to iCloud or the Mac App Store and it will prompt you for an Apple ID.

4. There may be a small amount of charge in the battery, but not much for safety's sake. They can store a considerable amount of energy, and so it would be quite dangerous to transport a fully-charged battery on a long-haul flight.

Good luck with your purchase

For my purposes as an engineering undergraduate; Windows is respectable (& generally necessary), Linux is admirable (& often useful), OS X is enjoyable (& requires no further justification, although plenty could be given)!

In my experience, the battery comes half-charged.
