12 trains direct daily from Guangzhou Dong (East) Station to Hung Hom in Kowloon.

There are also lots of "direct" buses. Depending on where in Guangzhou you're leaving from, and where in Hong Kong you're going to, it may be better than taking the train.
Makes little sense to fly, unless you're connecting to another flight out of HKG immediately.

You are correct, as a US citizen you do not need a visa to enter Hong Kong (or Macau, if you choose to visit). But do note that if you are going back into China after Hong Kong, you will need a double-entry visa to China or else you'll have to get another visa in Hong Kong to re-enter China - expensive and inconvenient.

No ferries between center Hong Kong and Guangzhou. There are some fast ferries between HKG (Hong Kong airport) and some areas near Guangzhou, but the buses have taken over most of the traffic, as they are much more economical run and have higher frequencies.
And most of the ferries in the Pearl Delta region are catamarans, with the exception of the jetfoils between Hong Kong and Macau. Hoverferries are all gone. There was never true hovercraft (like those across the English Channel) in this region.
