as the others note, lots of us are annoyed with the behavior you describe.
I believe passing on the right on a divided highway is legal in all 50 states.
While in some states it may be technically illegal to stay in the left lane I don't think it's ever enforced.
Very few people in the U.S. understand using the left directional signal in the left lane means you want to pass. They do know the headlight flash, but while that was once effective, it now seems more likely to ensure they won't move over. Just stay back from them before you pass. The closer you get to them the more likely they are to show you a finger.
I encourage you to use the same lane use habits in the US that you use on the autoroutes, just at our slower speeds. I get to Europe once or twice a year and I drive the same way on both continents, just faster on your side of the pond. You can usually get away with 9-10 miles per hour over the posted limit, but if you are with the flow of traffic you're usually OK.
