I haven't known proper spelling of country Belarus and nationality Belarusian.
Is it offensive to use "O" instead of "A"? Or just ignorant?

In Russian, there's no difference provided you use the correct word (Беларусь, Белоруссия).
In English, Belarus is an up-to-date word (hence Belarusian).
Back in the USSR times, it was of course Belorussia (rhymes with Russia) and Belorussian respectively.
