Isn't American cheese just cheddar cheese with some extra flavoring?

American is typically more mild in taste and smoother than cheddar; unless we are talking Kraft Singles American, which is a smoother or creamier cheddar.

I thought it was cheddar diluted in some chemicals and milk to improve flavor and to lower the melting point.

It does have emulsifiers and other dairy products in it. It has a higher moisture content, which the emulsifiers help to hold in suspension with the cheese. Without the emulsifiers the cheese would leak water/fluid out and the shelf life would be considerably shortened. The emulsifiers used are very common in many foods from almond milk to soft drinks.

All I know is that it is technically speaking real cheese (which is surprising).
