There are quite a few geo IP location services that have tools available on their sites that report IP locations.

Why do you think there are any benefits whatsoever of being hosted in the USA? If anything it's asking for trouble by not following inane laws and whatnot.

search engines take IP location into account when serving up locally relevant results. Therefore, if you want to market to America, hosting in America is better than hosting outside America.

it may be that the change hasn't registered with Google yet. Here's some speculation. Googlebot will do a homepage visit once every two months. Maybe- maybe- at this time, various parameters are checked.
Maybe you won't notice a change until Google notices the new IP, which could be up to a month or two.
