2) The US bombing in Vietnam was primarily directed against South Vietnam.
I believe you mean North Vietnam, since that's the communist state, whereas South Vietnam was a democratic one.

bombing military targets is one, yes. bombing cities - i.e. deliberately targeting civilians - is not. it is prohibited by the Geneva conventions and considered terrorism.
True, yet not exactly. The current Iraq war involves American air raids on schools and hospitals, yet it is considered a mistake in military act, not terrorism. The intentions of the American air raids in the American perspective is a military act of anti-terrorism, even though they are deliberately targetting civilians, since America has the most advanced radar system used by the military. More over, military bases shouldn't look similar or bear resemblances of schools and hospitals. This cannot be considered as collateral damage either.

looks like we didn't do a good enough job with germany 60 years ago...missed a few that slipped through the cracks
This does not sound right. First, you claim that you are not American and if America goes into a military crisis, you would move back to China implying that you are Chinese, right? The strange thing is that China did not had a military offensive with Germany during WWII 60 years ago and thus, you are contradicting yourself here. How can China miss a few that slipped through the cracks if China never had fought Germany in the first place?
