Can a 17 year old leave the country and live independently without being legally forced to return to the US By parents etc..?

No. A seventeen-year-old can't leave home without parental consent unless emancipated. Emancipation is not legally available in all states in the US and is difficult to get even in those states. Usually if a minor has parents who are actively seeking to keep him or her in the home and they are not abusive, emancipation will not be granted.
