Should consumers in third-world countries should be entitled to the same protections as those accorded by U.S. law to American consumers when buying goods from American companies.

No, that's what their governments are for.

I would think so. The company would be governed by the laws of the US and as such couldn't/shouldn't treat American consumers any differently than it treats other consumers.

If the transaction happens in the US -- meaning the US company makes the sale in the US -- then the US company should be equally responsible for what happens regardless of where the purchaser is. In that case, it would be the actions of the US company in the US that would be regulated.
If the sale happens outside the US, then there is no activitiy happening inside the US for US laws to affect.
