On August 6, 1945, at 9:15 AM Tokyo time, a B-29 plane, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city vanished. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injuried many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly.
The city was unbelievably devastated. Of its 90,000 buildings, over 60,000 were demolished.
No one will ever know for certain how many died as a result of the attack on Hiroshima. Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast, heat, and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city.

No. He died prior to the testing of the atomic bomb. Harry S Truman was President.
There is about an estimated number of more than 200 thousand people.

Some non-Japanese died in the nuclear bombing like Koreans and some Americans who were war captives. The number for the victims go to 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki.
That depends on how you define "killed". There were US prisoners of war at Hiroshima and some of them died in the atomic bombing. Many of the US nuclear tests in the 1950s exposed soldiers to levels of radioactivity that killed them from cancers and other diseases as late as the middle 1980s.
