Payment details are stored on your psn account & not on your actual playstation 3. Make sure to clear your username and password details from the log in screen to avoid unathorised access.
To completely delete whats on your playstation 3 harddrive you should use the format hard drive option. This will delete all data you've saved to the hard drive.

I want to leave the downloaded games for the new owner. When I get my new PS3 (US) do I need to start a new psn account?

No your psn account is set up with sony and you use this on your new ps3. The good news too is that if you downloaded games on the old ps3 from the Playstation Store then you can download them again to the new ps3. This is free of charge and can be done up to 5 times per game.
