They would presume you'd piss off back to Britain at the end of your studies and it would be difficult for them to chase you for the repayments should you decide not to pay them back.
On the flip side no UK lender (IMO) will grant you a loan to study in the USA in case you get a h1B / Married and stay in the USA and not bother to pay them back either.
pissing into the wind comes to mind here.

However, getting funding for it is another matter.
If you were a British Bank would you lend yourself money if they thought there is an outside chance you might not pay it back?

Re: information needed
I've got some good news for you: You answered number one correct!!!!!!
I can't tell you much about number 2 though. You'll need to talk to specific schools (pardon the Americanism). IT may or may not be one of the ones where the school/state will pay you to study (note: grant/stipend, not loan). I'll defer to others on this...
