Took him quite some time, he's been living in the USA since 1997 and could have gotten the citizenship since at least 2002.
But they would've probably just have given him one if he asked, and he can even keep the finnish one.

Answer: maybe or maybe not, and not prior to 2003 unless prior to May 31, 2008 resumption of citizenship was requested.

Not necessarily. Time spent in the US on J/H visas does not count towards naturalization. (I spent two years on a J-1, six on H-1b before, one on a work permit, then the clock started counting when I received permanent residency.)
