Gunncat, thanks so much for emailing the ICANN guy. His reply is reassuring.

In terms of how much power the US gov has over domains... there's been discussion before that .com is governed by Georgia (I think?). I'm not sure if that will make a difference, as I think most people consider "dot-com" to be the universal, non-geographical domain.

$60 is outrageous, but I'd rather pay the extortion money than miss out on a few vital domains...
