Do I file as single or head of household if my wife lives in a different country and isn't a citizen?

You will file as single unless you have children or other dependents that will qualify you for Head of Household status. (As mentioned above, your spouse does not allow you to qualify for Head of Household status, as your spouse is not a dependent for tax purposes.)

You can learn more about how to qualify for Head of Household status HERE.

If a US resident (not citizen) only works outside of the US (remotely), and resides in the US for the whole year, do they have to file taxes?
