I'm genuinely curious if people actually use the phrase 'US Americans', or if it's a reference to that Miss Teen USA contestant rambling about world peace

Not in generally English speaking countries, though you will occasionally hear second language English people use it.

I spent a few months in Germany years ago, and "Americans" (Amerikaner) tended to be used to refer to people from the Americas (either NA specifically or NA and SA collectively) in my experience. If you wanted to say someone was from the US, you'd say something more like "aus den USA."
