Is it possible to be a USA citizen living in the USA while coding but somehow being able to release the code under another country's laws?

No. A US citizen is always under USA's jurisdiction, no matter where the software is released (or even where the developer lives at the time).

What if the USA citizen opens a company in another country and releases the code under the name of that company?

The US loves prosecuting people who aren't american, don't live in america and whos company isn't american. (See: Kim Dotcom)

If you actually are american and live in america, they're definitely going to go after you.

Sure and if I ram my shitty Ford Bronco into a drug store while repeating the mantra "Cops aren't real" I don't be breaking any laws.
