I'm not a lawyer, but the idea of #2 seems crazy to me.

Have there been any past case(s) where the country/nationality of minority owners of a company has been grounds for changing a ruling?

I’m also not a lawyer, I don’t think they can change a ruling.

But they could certainly get a law passed that changes the rules and supersedes the ruling.

Yes - this. It's not uncommon thah the legislature has passed a law in reaction to a court decision to clarify a law.
Current example everyone is likely aware of: all the various states trying to pass pro/anti-abortion laws in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling.
There are also are intl trade agreements that outlaw favouring domestic companies that the USA enormously benefits from.
