I'll try to answer your questions in brief:
First of all it is not University of Minnesota Moorhead, it's Minnesota State University Moorhead.

1. Are there any scholarship opportunity for international student.?
You'll get in-state tuition and it may cost you about $4,000 a semester.

 2. What about incampus and off campus job?
There are may international students (mostly Nepalese) working on campus. mostly in cafeteria. You may find On campus job if you're lucky.

You should be able to find off campus job if you use your SSN. Since you mentioned you have a Car, it shouldn't be a problem.

3. What is cost of living and transportaion?
Cost of living is relatively cheap. One bedroom may cost you about $350 - $400. Two bedroom around $500-$600. You'll have no problem finding a nepali roommate.

Since you've a car, transportation costs depends on how much you'll be travelling. Since most students live nearby school, they walk to school. 

4. Is it better to live on campus or off campus? 
It's always better to live off campus, first: it's cheap to live off campus, second: you've more choices.

Last:  one more thing how is weather at moorehead? 
Winter sucks in Fargo/Moorhead. It gets really cold in winter, temperature falling below (-20F). But you'll get used to it. But people enjoy their short-lived summer. People go fishing, camping etc. They try to get most out of the summer.

By the way, there aren't many gas stations owned by Indian/Pakistanis in that area.
