Not sure you can. *#*#4636#*#* is how you usually do it. Go under phone info. May give you the option there to choose GSM only.

GSM (considered 2G or 2nd generation cell network technology) is for voice calls and EDGE data. EDGE is slow, not much faster than dial-up. GSM is pretty standardized, and bands on a phone bought in the US will often work in foreign countries, as you mention.
3G (HSPA on AT&T) is much faster than EDGE, up to 10 Mbps (although 3-6 Mbps is probably more average). 4G is kind of a misleading term. AT&T calls their HSPA+ network "4G", and its really just an enhanced version of their 3G network, in fact using the same phones as 3G.
AT&T is also now deploying 4G LTE, which employs a new data network, and requires your phone to be LTE compatible. You can see speeds up to 30 Mbps (sometimes even higher) on LTE.
