How long should a dog be on Puppy food?

A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months.

Are all the ingredients from the United States? If not what ingredients come from what country?

Nutro sources their ingredients from trusted farmers and suppliers, prepare only in trusted facilities, and rigorously test for quality and safety. They travel the world to locate and source the quality ingredients used in their recipes. They work with chickpea farmers in Canada and North Dakota, sugar beet farmers in Chile, Europe and other parts of South America, pea and lentil farmers in North Dakota, rice farmers in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and California, lamb farmers in Australia and New Zealand and many others around the world to source their high-quality ingredients.No matter where Nutro source's their ingredients from, they have the same high standards that apply to all suppliers.

For the first week or 2 should I soften some of the daily food intake for an 8 week old pup using milk or water?

It is recommended to use water to moisten the kibble.
