you cannot

 

You have to have a valid Visa to re-enter into the U.S.

OP can enter into US without a visa if the trip is less than 30days and if he didn't attend visa interview in Canada. That' called AVR.

Yes you can. Just make sure you don't hand over your I-94 (by bus most likely they won't ask for it).

 

Automatic Revalidation (AVR) rule applies to you on these conditions:

 

-I-94 is valid

-You don't apply for a new visa in Canada (that is when you don't go for stamping)

-should return within 30 days from Canada

-u don't visit any other country during that time.

 

Read more about AVR. Good luck.
