TESU does not care where you are in the world. The biggest hurdles are getting your Indian school credentials evaluated by an American evaluator (WES, ACEI, ECE, etc.) and taking the TOEFL or IELTS if your schooling was not in English. https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/apply-in...al-student
However, you do need to be aware that the Indian system does not look favorably upon distance-learning degrees. If you get a grad degree from TESU, you may not be able to get an undergrad from an Indian university unless you get a second undergrad from an Indian university. They just don't like online-only degrees. You could still continue on to an American Master's degree easily enough, though. If that sounds okay to you, that's great! Continue on.
For question 2: No, not really easier. You could transfer in more credits from Sophia, etc., but you still had to complete essentially the same courses as now. Yes, you can still complete most of the degree using inexpensive alternate credits such as those named. With the right planning, a TESU comp sci degree will cost around $7500USD.
Question 3: Some will. Some won't. Fortunately, TEL Learning and ONU (Olivet Nazarene University) offer some of the cheapest of these kinds of credits and they have no issues with international students. I would suggest completing one class through TEL ($200USD) and using that university transcript to gain entrance to ONU for $150USD per course.
