GoogleWebmasterHelp: Do you work for Google? Are these official statements from google? Im assuming you do since your saying "we", but just wanted to verify.

This answer will not really help you make educated decision for TLD owners. It needs narrowing down since incredibly important piece of leveraging information is missing. TLD type.
Question is how does google SEO move around and weigh COM, NET vs country specific domains (DE, CA etc.) in >>> RELATION to SERVER LOCATION<<<
That's the real question.

So does that mean,chaning your ip address(say U.S) when you upload youtube videos,is more likely to pull traffic from U.S?

I have my page hosting in Argentina, but I want to change to another hosting who has servers in USA.
The Domain is .com.ar
If I use Google tools or some HTML meta tags to help in location, I will still loose ranking in Argentina? I want the best ranking in Argentina, but the actual server is not good enough.
