Germany and France, maybe not. But parts of Poland were also historically controlled by Russia, as was Finland, and the eastern Baltic coast, countries like Lithuania or Estonia. All these countries are NATO members.
I don't think that Russia is trying to take over the world, Genghis Khan-style. But I see a strong tendency in the current Russian regime to restore the area of control and influence that the USSR used to have, and it's not a small and inconsequential alteration of the world map.
Yes, because USA is a founding member of NATO, and, along with other NATO members, is obliged to protect any NATO members under attack with military force.
(As a homework, consider the consequences if the USA refused to follow on with this obligation.)
