Not just a plane ticket. You need to take into account visas (can’t just fly in as a tourist and start working), employer sponsorships, temporary accommodation and living expenses until you get paid, and other kinds of expenses.
Depends on exactly what you’re doing. If you’re starting a business in Japan for example, it’s fine for the duration of your tourist visa, then you have to leave and apply for a business visa, if you’re doing it in China, or Vietnam, you have to reenter on a business visa. It’s very common to arrange business sponsorships in person in Vietnam on a tourist visa then reenter. IDK about China. Temporary accommodation and living expenses can be extremely cheap compared to the US if you don’t mind sleeping in a hostel and eating street food.
But yes I didn’t bother to include non-monetary things you’d need to set up, such as employer sponsorships.

And don’t forget that you still have to pay US income taxes on income earned overseas! 🙄
Only if you report your income 😉
Not really almost everyone has reciprocal tax agreements. You have to file but you deduct all the taxes you’ve paid the local country.
If you spend 330 days in non-US countries and pay tax somewhere else, you qualify for the FEITE on the first 130K+housing.
