Im not allowed on my balcony at any point tomorrow, and that if I use it I might get shot.

Apparently Biden is coming and theyre worried about snipers.

That feels illegal. The government should not be able to challenge your right to go where you want on your own property.

A couple of things:

  1. Not my property.
  2. Its not the local law enforcement that would be shooting. Its the visitors that theyre worried about.

The balcony floor isn't his but the balcony itself is. So he could perch up on the balcony like a bird maybe.

You're taking what the OP said at face value. What most likely happened was the Secret Service told the local police to tell residents to stay inside for their own safety. He could come outside and stay at his balcony, but is recommended not to.

And besides, there are plenty of things that the Secret Service can do to protect the President, including taking over your property temporarily, going on your roof to set up a temporary sniper nest, etc., and there's nothing you can do about it.

In either of those scenarios it would be construed that it was their balcony, at least for the duration of the rental agreement or stay at the hotel.

If they were to invite someone over would they say to said person(s) would you like to come over to my house/apartment/hotel room? Or would they say would you like to come over to the house/apartment I rent or hotel room I've rented for the foreseeable future?

That's local law enforcement getting carried away. They could have asked DC Metropolitan Police Department (or one of the other ~20 law enforcement agencies in DC) how they handle Biden in the vicinity.

Its the balcony of the apartment where I live. The rent is paid by my employer.

Yeah, this is probably accurate.

Only if the country hosting them allows them those privileges. They have no jurisdiction here beyond what the local government grants them.

I can kinda understand.

If someone thought "hey, it's the President! Neat, gotta take a picture to show people I saw the President live and post it on my social media"... secret service may mistake the camera / glint off of a lens / etc etc for a gun / scope and take that guy out if it's from a far enough distance.
