For languages and create diferents regionals website, I'd recommend you this plugins (pro):

Custom code based on language:

<?php 
                if(pll_current_language() == 'en') {
                    echo 'Only in english';
                } else if(pll_current_language() == 'fr') {
                    echo 'Seulment en francais'; 
                }  
        ?>

If you prefer control language throught web server, use better: $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']

It looks like it's trying to redirect multiple times, since it'll check the person's location, then redirect, then after redirecting it'll check again, and redirect again, etc.

What you could do is check whether "/usa" is already in the page URL, and if not, redirect, something like this could work:

if ($loc === "NA" && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'usa/') === false) {
    header("Location: usa/");
}

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is the URL of the current page, not including the domain.
