If its a UK number simply use the full number, with the first zero. No prefix or country code is necessary. Be aware though that your friend will be charged.

You would need to add +1 or 001 as a prefix. Either will work. If you're calling from your mobile it will be a very expensive call. You'd be much better off using Skype, which would be free if your friend in the US also had it. If not, you would have to buy credit, but it's only 2.3 cents (USD) per minute to call. There are other VOIP apps you can also use, like Viber, or I think you can now also make calls through the Firefox browser, and Google Hangouts, but your friend would need to have those as well.

Isn't the number showing a UK number?

No. It's a Nevada area code.
