I'm an American in Brazil using a Brazilian ISP. When I access my US websites..eg walmart.com; google, etc., they are defaulting to .com.br (when available) and the sites, of course are always in Protuguese. Please advise how I can access only my US ...... .com....not .com.br sites.

Google has a link at the bottom of the "local" home page to use the global site. This should be remembered using a cookie. I don't know whether other sites have a similar feature.

As a workaround, some users will sign up with a proxy service to re-route all their requests through a U.S.-based IP address. I don't have any personal recommendations on those, other than to choose whom to trust carefully because they see all of your traffic.

You can try and download SecurityKISS which is a proxy and select a USA location. It shouldn't take long and SecurityKISS is free and trusted.
