In other words, the THINGS out of bounds (including the ground) make it out of bound, not just the air/space above it.

Dash, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the fielder leaps up at the outfield fence, makes the catch (BU judges he had control), and then falls over the HR fence, it's still an out right?

I believe a fielder being in or out of play is determined by where his feet left the ground, so as long as he was in play before he jumped, I think you've got an out.
