Yes, you can eliminate "who are": ... Americans, convinced that ...
By the way, the correct use of the comma is to place the comma after a word, leaving no space, then to leave a space before you begin the next word.
So it's "Americans, convinced", not "Americans ,convinced".
I hope you don't mind my mentioning it. It will make your writing look much nicer!

I have seen punctuation marks inside or outside an ending quote, like
conviced."
convinced".
I suppose they are all correct.
conviced."
convinced".
I suppose they are all correct.

I believe it goes like this:
American: convinced."
British: convinced".
Although American, I tend to use the British format in this case. It just seems more logical to me.
I suppose technically it should be like this:
She said, "I'm not convinced.".
because you have the inner sentence and the outer sentence, both of which need a period.
