My response:

You call his county court to make sure that, particular, court is the correct court. Sometimes there are many courthouses in the same county - - so, you'll need to find the court that covers his address location.

You have to go to his State to file and sue him. Your State has no jurisdiction over him. Additionally, his assets are in his State, which is another thing your State has no jurisdiction "to grab" in the event you receive a judgment.

No, you cannot obtain your costs of travel, food and lodging. If you win, you'll get your judgment amount, plus your costs of court. That's it.
