Since the mid 90's, Vietnam is a regular (Communist) country doing regular business with regular countries, including the US.
In 1994/1995 US-Vietnamese relations were established. Vietnam is a tourist area today. The young Vietnamese citizens, under 30 years old, do NOT remember the Vietnam War.
Normal relations were established in about 1995.
No. The United States had full diplomatic relations with the Republic of Vietnam (colloquially called South Vietnam) from 1954-1975 when that country was conquered by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (colloquially called North Vietnam or just Vietnam today) in 1975 at the close of the Vietnam War (the Vietnamese call it the American War). The United States established full diplomatic relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1995 as Vietnam embraced a market economy and was beginning to reach out to other ASEAN nations.

The former NORTH Vietnam won the war; they are known as just Vietnam today.
South Vietnam would be like today's "Republic of South Korea" at the current 38th Parallel. Only it would be the "Republic of South Vietnam" at the 17th Parallel.
