Let’s see. A group of southern cadets fired on a Union ship supplying Ft. Sumter. Then the Confederate army fired on Ft. Sumter. Then Lee invaded the North at Bull Run. The South calls it that because the North acted aggressively when Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union. Got it.

How could Lee “invade” a place in which he was already resident?

I guess it’s open to interpretation, depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon line your ancestors were from. Got it.

Bull Run is in Virginia. It is not in the “North”. At the time of Bull Run, General lee did not command a Confederate Army. The Confederate Army as Bull Run was led by General Beauregard. Lee would not assume command of a Confederate field army until June 1862.
