What if the IELTS is given instead of TOEFL? IELTS is more internationally recognized, so is giving the IELTS instead of the TOEFL along with the SATs sufficient for seeking uni admission (I have disregarded other things like academics, extra-circulars...)

No, IELTS is not more internationally recognised. IELTS was introduced by Cambridge, and TOEFL by the ETS. Since Americans prefer their own tests, TOEFL is the ideal test for US universities. IELTS is for some US and Singapore universities, and for all UK and Australian universities. If you're sure about US, give the TOEFL iBT.

Look it depends from case to case.

For example lower tier universities will accept without anything. The others would require SAT 1 only while others would demand a further 2 SAT subject tests. Some universities like UPenn require only TOEFL as English test whereas Yale accepts both TOEFL and IELTS. Moreover, some top schools like Princeton states that students who have attended an English-medium secondary school for at least three years are not required to submit TOEFL results. Some specify that a SAT critical reading score of 600-650 is enough to satisfy our English language requirements.

So it depends where are you thinking to apply to, and I would recommend to appear for TOEFL if your ultimate study destination is USA.

Learn German.

Not necessarily. Jacobs University Bremen is an English speaking institution and offers courses taught in English. It is a very good university.
And as it has a combination of US/ German aspects of education, it requires one to give their SAT/ ACT scores as well as TOEFL/ other equivalent English proficiency test scores. Knowing German is not a requirement for admission. It will only help you settle there better. That's all.
Check out its website.
