Does ML contain game theory, control theory, operations research, information theory, simulation-based optimization, multi-agent systems, swarm intelligence, and statistics?

It may be the case if you define ML broadly enough. One may also define RL broadly to refer to things that existed well before ML was a thing (not that I would do it, but one may). I guess that may still be within the AI umbrella, but I’m not sure.
