It will be either Carway or Coutts.

Why would you want to leave your car in Canada? Are you going to cross the border by foot? You do know that you need a US visa to cross the border? Would you be bringing any pets or food?

You will need your passport to enter the U.S. and to return to Canada.

Yes, you can drive your car to cross the border (I saw many Alberta/BC plated cars cross the border). Make sure you got a full tank on your way from Calgary to the border otherwise you might have difficulty to find gas stations. Refuel your tank once you are in the US. You would find the gas price in Montana more cheaper than Alberta.
