Lets see. For starters, Toyota is a publicly traded company so anyone (you, me, your neighbor, etc...) can own a piece of it.
Most of the Toyota's that are sold in the United States were made in the United States with the exception of certain models such as the Rav 4, Highlander, etc... Toyota is starting to build these models domestically now as well. So, a lot of the money stays here. A Camry, for instance, could be made in Kentucky. That would require a manufacturing plant and lots and lots of employees. They make the car and it has to be shipped to one of Toyota's many ports. The shipping process (railheads, and trucking carriers) also employs countless people. Once the car arrives at port, it is equipped as necessary (more people, more jobs) and shipped to the dealer. Once at the dealer, a Salesperson sells it. They are employed and make some money. The consumer buys the car to drive to work (haha) and they remain employed. As you can see, a lot of the money stays here and is keeping countless people employed.
I know this didn't answer all of your questions, but hopefully it helped some.
