if you deposit more than 10k and the bank reports it to the federal government - will there be any issues for me and my fiance?

No

As much as you want, unless your country has restriction on this. When entering the USA, make sure to declare anything over $10k.  For large amounts, wire transfer might be safer.

As stated above, carry as much as you wish, but make sure you declare any amount more than $10,000.00 USD.  Also expect the officers to count it.  At least, that is what the officers did when my wife

Any currency is fine But must declare anything equivalent to more than US$10000.

Not at all.  The government is only interested in searching for a pattern of repeatedly large deposits.  The law was originally implemented so the government cold monitor money launderers.  In the past, when I have sold one home before buying another, I have deposited amounts much larger than $10,000, and I have never heard a thing from the federal government.
