Best Answer

According to US Customs and Border Protection, you do not even need an ESTA.

If you are a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), and you enter the U.S. by land from Mexico or Canada, you are only required to complete the paper I-94W form at the land border crossing. ESTA is currently required for air and cruise ship travel only.

Note: VWP citizens do not need an ESTA to travel on the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria, BC and Washington state. They are treated as a land border port

5. Re: Esta, before after booking flights? There is no requirement at this stage, to add flight numbers and accomodation information onto an ESTA, it is optional (at the moment) but you do have to input information into the airlines database which is cross referenced to your ESTA by passport number.
