I also agree that you should not mix different regions spellings. Go for the one where you think your book will sell best.

Yes, or what people will expect. The "Celtic Otherworld" series sells best in USA, but British English makes more sense. Though in a later book when a team is in the USA some USA terms are used, but still British spelling.
Vocabulary is different for USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and to some extent between Ireland and Great Britain (there are regional versions in GB too) even when words have the same spelling so books are best using your native vocabulary unless it's completely set elsewhere with the local characters and that is actually hard to do. Words might have same spelling but unrelated meanings or normal usage.
