That depends on the location and the teacher. When I lived in Italy, the local language school was staffed by young people from the UK because they didn't need a visa to live and work in Italy whereas a US citizen would have required one. While I was there, the teachers actually had Irish accents.

NO. Here in the netherlands we watch British, American and sometimes australian and newzealand TV with dutch subtitles. We either have a dutch accent or one we like and choose to work on

There are different dialects. I speak north mid western. As for grammar British and American are pretty similar, both written and vocalized.

english is a language and dosen't have an accent
that comes from the person teaching the language and their attention to the correct pronounaction of the words

It is taught by non-native speakers more often than not. Therefore, their accent sounds neither British nor American.
