If we find life in Venus's atmosphere & bring it back then is there a good chance of it getting it accidentally released to become the equivalent of an atmospheric Kudzu?

IF we go to Venus and find extremophiles in the atmosphere, I blame the Russians.
Venera 4 was the first probe they slammed into that planet back in 1967. Many since then, too. Wouldn't be a shock if they accidentally carried over some bacteria that adapted and now the atmosphere is full of it.
Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally loaded a sample of Snottite into a probe just to see what would happen in a couple of decades.

Highly unlikely. The thing about extremophiles is that they are made for survival in their specific environment. They simply wouldn't survive on Earth, especially if they are anaerobic.
