From the top of my head.
1. Princess Tree
2. Paulownia tomentosa
3. As "Paulownia" is the genus, I believe it was named after a princess named Paulownia. Or something
4. China/ Eastern Asia
5. Either allelopathic or crowding out native species
6. Physical control possible if you are dedicated. Biological control. Probably glyphosate, but it's non-selective.

Princess(Empress-)tree
Paulownia tomentosa
Anna Pavlovna of Russia
Central, East Asia, China (Though not Japan)
Aggressively grows to shade other plants. (I turned up a 1994 farmers almanac advertising these as ideal shade tree, growing 10 feet a year), displaces natives
Prevention: dont use for ornamental or mine-reclaim, saw down the big ones and spray herbicide

1. Whitetop / [i]Lepidium Draba[/i] 
2. Crowds out native species and reduces crop yields; mildly toxic; reduces rangeland health
3. I'm not sure... I'd definitely like to know, though! 
4. (Assuming this is the Whitetop) - Its counterpart (Hairy Whitetop) has more circular/globular shaped seed pods, while the whitetop has heart-shaped pods
5. Digging or grubbing for small populations, use of metsulfuron + chlorsulfuron as chemical, planting competitive legumes in farm fields, various  weevils as biological
