Yes you are eligible for the gap.
There are many students in American universities from all over the world. I suggest you choose a few colleges and see what the requirements may be for a student from India.

No, there are thousands of universities that each have their own qualifications and their own specialties. Age is not a constraint for colleges in the USA.
Try to buy a US News and World Reports that rates the US colleges.

There are a huge number of college/university choices in the US and you need to do some research to determine:
What major you would be interested in (different schools specialize in different areas)
What sort of scholarships the school might offer for foreign students (university in the US is quite to very expensive - up to US $ 60,000 per year for some schools)
What part of the country you might want to spend time in - based on weather, desire for specific atmosphere (big city, smaller town, college focused town)
To apply you will need to take some sort of qualifying exams (varies by school) provide your complete high school transcript and usually references.
Picking a school is very complex, I would get hold of one or more guides providing info on the huge number of choices - from state universities to private ones - from small schools to one with 60/70,000 students.
If you google you can get a list of schools most popular with foreign students.

Sorry - overall there are about 4600 colleges/universities in the US - so choosing is very much a matter of elimination based on the above.
Also be aware that some colleges are extremely competitive in terms of admissions - and take fewer than 10% of the students that apply.

There is a large number of students from India who come to the U.S. to study. You tagged California . . . is that the sole State you are interested in?
Remember, unless you start off attending a junior college, you will need to have your transcripts from your high school, and most likely will need to take either the ACT or the SAT for consideration at many U.S. colleges.
Some colleges and universities (i.e. University of California) charge out of state tuition, which runs pretty high. You will also need a student visa if you do not have residency in the U.S.
In short, this is a great idea, but a project that will probably take you a year to sort out. Also, for California State universities and colleges, there is a window in which to apply . . . that window is now closed for the Fall, 2015 year. Private colleges and universities, depending on the college, have rolling admissions.
Good luck!
