Exclamation European MPL to FAA conversion

Hi Everyone

Hope you guys are doing well. Before you all kick about this question, help a brother out. I fly for an EU airline and hold an MPL licence. I will soon have 1500 hours on type and will undergo the process of unfreezing my license. I have a green card and want to immigrate to America to fly there. I know that after 1500 hours I can apply to get an FAA licence.
My questions are these.

After unfreezing my license, will holding an MPL licence hinder me in obtaining an FAA ATP?

Will my FAA ATP be restricted to multi pilot ops only?

Having an FAA ATP with multi pilot restriction make it harder to get hired?

Will US airlines especially the legacy carriers care and look down upon me having an FAA ATP with multi pilot restriciton?

To those who take the time to reply, thank you for your help, information and any advise you give.

Clear skies to all
