It appears you have a burr under your saddle about Calvinism that clouds your vision of what God says of himself.
Where does God tell you in his own words he's not in control of all actions? In other words, where does God tell you he is not Sovereign, has dominion over his creation? Please share the scripture or scriptures that you're using to uphold your ideas.

God can be in control over all, and yet allow choices to be made contrary to His will. Does God control your actions and thoughts? Example...
Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
God longed for Israel to seek Him, to gather them together and protect them, but they refused.

God has relinquished some of his control to Satan and will not violate that agreement until the appropriate time when Michael fights to take back that which was given to Satan. So Satan has dominion over much of the world in regards to the flesh.
"And having led Him up, he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give to You all this authority, and its glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I wish. Therefore if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. - 1 Cor 5:5
