Whatever any of this reveals, a 1979 State Department memo put the questions into perspective: "Whether or not Wallenberg was involved in espionage during World War II is a moot point at this stage in history. His obvious humanitarian acts certainly outweigh any conceivable 'spy' mission he may have been on."

It would take a member of the Carter State Department to view espionage as something that needed to be outweighed by humanitarian acts, rather than a noble calling.

Did the US ever officially admit to Wallenberg being an American agent?

You beat me to it.

Espionage against our enemies who are sworn to destroy us and our way of life is a legitimate role of government, as opposed to, say, creating make-work jobs for social scientists in the Department of Education.
