Hi Rohan,
Regardless of your track, you can take pretty much whatever class you are interested in. There are two caveats for this that come to mind. First, some classes have prerequisites that you must have before taking the class (although this usually isn't enforced). Second, you must take enough classes to meet the requirements in both Sloan and your engineering track. This usually means you have to take 3 or 4 engineering classes in your track.
Your second two questions are harder to answer. The sponsor companies have different hiring goals every year, so one year a particular company may be hiring for a job that is appropriate for an international student and the next year they may not. The only companies that this is really an issue with are the companies with some defense-related business (e.g., Raytheon, UTC). These companies are subject to ITAR laws which dictate certain citizenship/work eligibility requirements for their employees on certain projects. I'm not sure how much Boeing is affected by that, since they have split up their business between Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Boeing Defense and Space. I wish I could give you a clearer answer. I can say this, in general, there are some job opportunities that are restrictive based on citizenship, but there are several international students in the program now. There are plenty of jobs for international students who are accepted into the program.
Good luck!
