Will an international iPhone purchased in Malaysia work in the U.S with an AT&T plan? If it doesn't work, will wi-fi & iTouch capabilities still work? Will the wi-fi & regular itouch capabilities work?

Unfortunately they are not compatible as Malaysia and Europe (and most of the known world) use a network called GSM whereas America use CDMA However, you can take it to a local store who can unlock the iPhone for a nominal fee and reload it using the CDMA network :-)

Probably, if it is a multi band model and works with Celcom....but on registration with AT&T, you may need to pay extra, as you are not buyig the phone from them.....

Like the gentleman said above you could unlock the phone then you can load a prepaid sims to any phone carrier here in the U.S. You might also ask your AT&T provider (Malaysia) if international roaming are available, meaning you can call Malaysia anytime w/o any problem. Of course, that will be an extra charge on your phone bill from AT&T.
