1. I believe the correct answer is in large cities.

Immigrants from Europe wanted to come to America in pursuit of a better life and employment possibilities. In Europe, life was becoming harder and harder, so they wanted to achieve the 'American dream' as well. This is why they were mostly situated in urban areas where there were a lot of career opportunities.

2. I believe the correct answer is that Japan would stop giving passports to people who wanted to immigrate to the United States.

There were many Japanese people in San Francisco at the time (which was prior to World War I. So when the War started, there were hostile feelings towards Japanese citizens in America. This is why there was an agreement between America and Japan which stated that there would be no new Japanese immigrants into America, but also that the status of those Japanese citizens already in America would be much better.
