What is the difference between having the militaire have boots in the ground to kill you if you don't comply, and having military in the border next to you to kill you, bomb you or kidnap you if you don't comply?

One involves an invasion having already occured and the other doesn't. Making this distinction is literally the subject of the entire thread.
USA is not meaningfully in control of Venezuela. They have no more control then a week ago.

Venezuela regime did not changed either. The same generals and politicials remain on power, altrough there is bound to be some power struggle between them.
