Default Best way to copyright and sell music?

I write instrumental music and I want to sell it on the internet. I will focus on selling so called leasing rights and exclusive rights.

I have researched on copyrighting my work in my country and it's way too expensive. U.S. Copyright Office would be much more convenient for me but is it ok? I mean if I'm from Europe, can I copyright my music there?

When I sell the music, what's the best way to transfer full rights if someone buys the exclusive license? Sending a written and signed contract seems like a good idea to me but that takes some time. Is there a good way to do it online?

I'm in over my head. If someone enlightens me I will be forever grateful
