Ok, from my own real experience as a British person living in the USA a few years ago, a US6=UK10, US8=UK12, US10=UK14 and so on. This does not account for inevitable variations between different brands and origin of manufacture though. (I often find nowadays that things made in China seem smaller or more narrow than they used to be in the same size).

not necessarily plus 2. i am size 0-2 in USA and 8-10 UK. It depends on the brand as well.

Sizing of clothes in shops is not necessarily the same, so it might depend on which shops you are going to. :)

I always work on plus 2 sizes ie. UK 8 in a US 4, UK 10 is a US 6, UK 12 is a US 8 and UK 14 is US 10. Thats how is seems to work when I shop in the states. I think the confusion is that the sizes go up by 2 numbers, if you know what I mean
