Get the ESTA, is online, you need your ticket details first, you may even just use a machine at border if you have an ESTA no need to talk to anyone (these are at airports unsure if at land borders) . Of course the Embassy will answer your queries, that is one of their roles, my advice is just ask them how to do this correctly, but don't ask for any guarantees, just the correct process.
Only likely issue is if you have stamps in passports from 'certain' countries or are flagged for something or other.
Do not try and enter the USA without visas sorted out first, border authorities are not friendly and welcoming and have no sense of humour, this is true in most countries.
Note for USA beginners on prices, prices quoted will not be the actual prices, extras are added without notice, state taxes, levies, fees, gratuities are not usually included on any advertised price, this is not scamming, no one here expects 99c pizza to actually cost 99c.
