"USA has actually done a lot" - so did USA guarantee Ukraine's " borders and sovereignty"? Or did it not?

The worst thing to do (which USA did) is to make a promise and not deliver. Had Ukraine knew that USA will abandon it, it might have entered negotiations in early 2023 from a much more favorable position.

Seems to have done a ton, based on the amount of support and aid?

Seems like the U.S. did not guarantee Ukraine's borders and sovereignty. Or at least not according to my reading of The Budapest Memorandum:
