Assume that this is not a wannabee, but someone who, for example, already has a solid job offer from an EU country, and some cash for the relocation.

Is there an exit tax when you leave the US? France for example has that, and the new Belgian government wants to introduce it as well.
Not when you change residency, but if you relinquish your citizenship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriation_tax#United_States or your residency has been revoked.
So if you remain a US citizen you owe normal annual tax (minus a credit for foreign taxes paid).
I think there is, but it doesn’t apply universally. I think it was one of those things designed to catch the ultra-rich who were renouncing their citizenship to get lower taxes elsewhere, but it ends up catching a lot of people who are middle class.
I believe someone complained recently that there is one.
