#3Yes, you should be extremely happy you are not a US citizen trying to do this. Your arrangement is extremely simple and easy to do legally. IRS taxation of Americans abroad is vexatious and obdurate. Don't even get me started about taxation of Americans owning shares in foreign corporations.

#4Yes. There are no restrictions for US companies to hire you (often as a contractor, or as an employee vie PEO providers like Deel/Remote/Oyster/Papaya etc). You do not need a visa - visas are relevant only when working inside the US.

Aren't us US citizens the only people who get taxed regardless of where we live and work ( yes I know the first 130k is exempted, it's still outrageous).

The IRS taxation of American's abroad is basically just filing a normal federal tax return and claiming a $100k+ exemption on foreign earned income. It's very simple. The meme that the process is "vexatious and obdurate" seems most often propagated by those who have never done it.
