It is more complicated than that. You cease to be a permanent resident
immediately if you leave the US with the intention of living abroad
permanently. Even after a year he may get a returning resident visa if
he demonstrates that he has not abandoned his residence in the US. In
the worst case, he would have a chance before an immigration judge if
tried to return to the US after an absence of more than a year. It is
certainly not something for a tax adviser to decide. The Treasury will
happily consider him a US resident if it is more advantageous to them.

Yes, you have to file. Be aware that your green expires one year
after you have been out of the country, though you can fill in a form
and have it expire after 2 years.

is what the US Embassy in just about every country has on their
website:

If you have a U.S. green card, you are a lawful permanent
resident of the U.S. even if you live abroad. This means you are
treated as a U.S. resident for U.S. income tax purposes and you
are subject to U.S. tax on your worldwide income from whatever
source derived. Accordingly, you must file a U.S. tax return
unless (1) there has been a final administrative or judicial
determination that your lawful permanent resident status has been
revoked or abandoned, (2) your gross income from worldwide
sources is less than the amounts that require a tax return to be
filed, or (3) your U.S. residence status is affected by an income
tax treaty.

is a holder of a green card, who is living not in the U.S. but in his home
country, a "US resident alien"?

income regardless of source or where in the world they reside.
If one's income is high enough to meet the filing requirement for
one's filing status, a tax return has to be filed. This is true
even if all their income was excludable as foreign earned income.

So what does the law says about a green card holder who does not live
in the US and has no income from US sources? (Except I am guessing
minor interests from the bank account.)

I am a green card holder living in my own country. I have bank
accounts here and the total balance is more than $10,000. The
instruction on the form says that the United States Person has to file
this form. Then, it also says that the term "United States person"
means (1) a citizen or resident of the United States,... I wonder if
"residents of the United States" includes green card holders living
out side of the U.S. Your advice is appreciated. Thank you very much.
