The Bm7b5 chord is enharmonic with the G7th chord played with no root.
You mean it's a rootless G9.

"Enharmonic" means the same sound, different spelling - like A# and Bb. In this case the note names are all the same (BDFA).

Again, enharmonic is not the right word. It's just the same chord.

It's an "inversion" of Dm6.

Yes, but that would be pretty rare.

Yes!
