Can you submit a DMCA request if you're not American?

Yes. But the recipient company needs to be American.

In this case, isn't the recipient company Apple?

Correct. You'd send the DMCA to Apple to force Apple to block access to the app, no matter where the developer resides.

No, and that's where/why the whole "service provider" thing can get interesting. In this case Apple just hands your DMCA notice to the alleged infringer.
