(1) Who wont use a dot com? It doesn't make them any more a US entity.
(2) If you dealing in USD, there always trade settlement in the US in one way or another or through an intermediary. There's not always a way to avoid it.
(3) & (4) may be relevant but since I don't know the full facts of the case I guess I can't comment on that but I'm just going on the face of that statement he made. I always though normally it is residency and management being the issues which most determine where a business is actually based and therefore also the jurisdiction.
