None of that indicates an international court.

Attorneys in the US are licensed to practice per-state. Pro Hac Vice petitions are necessary whenever they seek to appear in a case outside the state(s) they are licensed in. In this case, two California attorneys were appearing in court in Nevada. There is nothing "international" about that.

Parties to a lawsuit, no matter where they are, have an obligation to respond under US law. If they never want to travel to or do business in the US or any other country whose courts will enforce US judgements (there are many that will), they are, of course, free to ignore the summons and/or orders (unless ICAAN says otherwise, in case of the registries).

Note also that the orders are signed by Gloria M. Navarro, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nevada.

This is a US court. I have no idea why you think otherwise. There is nothing to indicate otherwise.
