If anyone has advice how to go about the whole process please let me know, as I would like to take the opportunity to play some online while I am outside of the U.S.
Opening a bank account is easy. Go to HSBC with 2 forms of ID.
Stars can be d*cks when trying to convince them that you are staying here though. You need one or possibly more of the following - copy of lease in your name, some kind of bill in your name with your address, and/or Vietnamese bank statement. They probably have to call you on the phone too (when I did it, it had to be a land line which was really hard to find in Vietnam and then sit and wait for them to call).
Your questions are well discussed throughout this thread.
