Michael,
Yes,
at the moment with a green card and 1500 hours, a regional would certainly be likely for you. A college degree is not currently mandatory in the USA.
Three years from now when you'd theoretically have 1500 hours, there's no one who can tell what the hiring environment will be. But, that's the roll of the dice for anyone starting to work toward an airline job.
As to whether you should start your career journey here or in the EU, I'd hesitate to definitively say. But I will opine that it sounds like you'd be on the road to a job faster (and cheaper) here vs the EU.
It's a tough decision, I realize. rudestuff laid it out very well.
