Questions

Is 50% of the size also 50% of the file?

The file usually gets 3–4 times smaller, because half the width and half the height is a quarter of the pixels.

Can I reduce to an exact size in KB instead?

Yes: use Compress a photo, choose the limit (for example 100 KB) and the tool finds the size and quality for you.
