FARA defines "foreign agents" as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons. Doesn't matter if they are US persons. It's a registration and disclosure requirement.[1]
No, there's a difference between treating someone as a foreign agent because they actually are working as a foreign agent and treating someone as such because of their ancestry.
This may not mean what you think it means. From wikipedia:
"they were acting "at the order, request, or under the direction or control, of a foreign principal" and proved that the alleged foreign agent engaged "in political activities for or in the interests of such foreign principal," including by "represent[ing] the interests of such foreign principal before any agency or official of the Government of the United States."[31]"
You just have to be working for another government in a political way in the US to be a foreign agent.

Its kind of weird to have to point that out.

The definition in FARA is not limited to non US citizens. It means agent of a foreign power not a foreign person who is an agent
