In most states, an associates degree or higher in veterinary technology from an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program is required in order to work as a veterinary technician. However, there are still a few states that have no requirements. Therefore it is important for anyone wishing to work as a veterinary technician to contact the state veterinary technician association or veterinary medical board to determine the requirements for their specific state.
Most states require that you have a degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program and be credentialed in that state to work as a veterinary technician. In these states the title "veterinary technician" is protected by law and representing yourself in any way as a credentialed (often licensed) veterinary technician can be punished under the law.
Most states (probably all of them) in the United States require that veterinarians be licensed. In order to obtain the license schooling of some sort is required. If you practiced veterinary medicine in some third world country that lacked or overlooked licensing requirements, it is possible some states might wave such a requirement in lieu of actual job experience.
School is your best bet as the practices in other countries may not follow US standards.
You do not need a degree to become a vet assistant. However, increased knowledge of job position puts prospective assistants in the lead. However, like many other industries, sometimes the job is acquired not by the degree you have but who you know.

There are a few schools that will take a 3.0 GPA and have vet tech and bachelors. You can try going to Brown Mackie College or try getting into Vet Tech Institute.
In the United States, the courses you complete to earn a BS in veterinary technology could partially complete the pre-requisite courses needed to apply to vet school. However, the vet tech courses cannot be directly substituted for courses in vet school - the degree of difficulty and depth of information need are much greater for veterinarians than for vet techs.
No, you may return to college, complete the pre-requisite courses and apply to vet school without becoming a vet tech. In fact, it is rare that a veterinarian was ever formally trained as a vet tech.
I would try the NYU to find pre vet classes however you will have to leave Manhattan to finish the program.
