You are correct, that is a confusing question, especially in your current situation. Your country of residence is usually your country of nationality or domicile, outside the USA, but in this instance you can go ahead and type in "USA" if you so wish. Nothing bad will happen as a result. Your TPS application will not be denied or RFE'd as a result; don't worry.. Either way will be OK.

I agree with my colleagues. It is the country of your passport.

For TPS purposes your country of residence is that claimed upon entering the US.
