question
Can this lens work with the Nikon n80? I would like to use my old film camera
No - it will not work on an N80 or any film or full frame camera. It is designed to cover an APS-C sensor and won't project a big enough circle for an N80. :)

question
What is the difference between Imported and USA version of a lens other than the warranty issue?
In use and physically, there is no difference the two lenses and most likely both lenses were made in the same factory. The difference is what distributor B&H used to get these from.

question
Can this lens work with a D3000?
I have used this lens with both a D3100 and a D3400 but have not used it on a D3000. I imagine it will work though since it did work on the D3100.

question
Anyone using this lens on the D500?
While the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens would be fully compatible with the D500 Body, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR Lens (B&H # NI168028VR) would be considered the kit lens counterpart to the D500. The 16-80mm lens, aside from the added range, would be sharper, and better for shooting in lower light across the zoom range than the 18-55mm.

question

question
Does this lens have an infinite focus, and if so, how do you set it?
If you mean a preset infinity point that you can easily set for astro photography, no it doesn't. It also has a very small maximum aperture, so it's not a good choice for that typs of photography.
