Can someone with dual citizenship become convicted of treason in The US if they hold citizenship of a country The US might be at war with?

No. Suppose you are a citizen of Venezuela and a U.S. citizen, living in USA. If unclesam attacks Venezuela because Chavez attacked an ally, Colombia, you would NOT be convicted of treason! However, suppose you acted as a spy for Chavez and FBI got you, then of course you could be tried and convicted for treason. I doubt that U.S. will ever intern U.S. citizens of foreign origins during a war, like the Japanese and German Americans during WWII.
