I also once heard that California is the American state with the biggest German influence..can you confirm that?
No, it isn't. California was originally founded as a Spanish colony and was later Mexican territory before becoming a US state in 1850. States like Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota are far more Germanic due to large numbers of Germans and Scandinavians who originally settled there.

There is also the cliché about Americans being the people worldwide who move the most in their life (from one location to the other that is...)..can you confirm?
Basically true.
