Dual Citizenship? Being a "National"?

I am a US citizen with a US passport, however, I was born in a different country and although I *personally believe* they consider me a citizen there, I don't live there so I honestly don't know their regulations. My US passport states I am a US citizen and it also states the country I was born in.

I have never held another passport except a US passport.

How should I best answer the question, "Do you currently hold, or have you ever held, any other nationality or citizenship?"

Thank you

You'll need to find out whether you legally hold citizenship of the country you were born in, and if you do, then you will need to list that nationality as well. And if it asks you to list passport details, just say that you don't hold a passport for that country.

Just because you haven't held a passport for that country, doesn't necessarily mean you are not a citizen of that country (for example, only 36% of US citizens hold a US passport, but that doesn't mean they aren't US citizens, it just means they haven't applied for a travel document).

Ok..

Does having a no longer valid ID card for that country signify that I am a citizen?

And if yes, does having a dual citizenship harm this application process to go to the UK?

On the other hand, does the US allow dual citizenship between the US and other countries?

The ID card proves nothing.
Presumably you can't ask the person(s) responsible for bringing you to the US? If not, you will have to study the citizenship law of the country of your birth.
It makes no difference to your UK application how many nationalities you hold.

I believe I hold the nationality/citizenship (if these two are used interchangeably) to the country I was born according to what I've read online and what I've discussed with family members. Being born there to at least one parent that is born there automatically would grant me citizenship/nationality.

In this case, if I have answered "yes" and entered the date of issuance as my date of birth, what would I enter where it says "Date Held To"? Because as I understand, that would be for as long as I live. So can I leave this second date BLANK? Because they asked a question afterwards stating, "Confirm if you STILL hold this nationality" and I answered "yes".

So can I leave the second date BLANK on the visa application, or which date should I write here?

I hope this is not confusing for you as it is for me

You want to put the present date... So I would put the date you are submitting the application (I.e. on the day you are ready to submit, go back and change it to that date).
