is 6.5 mbps the same as 65 Mbps?
is it possible that I have 72 Mbps on a laptop 20 feet away from a router and 6.5 mbps 100 feet away in a shed, and will that be fast enough to access youtube?

No. 6.5 mbps is way slower than 65 Mbps.
65 Mbps = 520 mbps
M = megabyte
m = megabit
8 megabits = 1 megabyte

Depending upon the source some people will use Mbps and mbps interchangeably. I have found that Mb or mb usually refers to Megabits and MB or mB refers to Megabytes.
So assuming that you mean that you get 72 Mbps and 6.5 Mbps then it is very probable that you will get a much lower data rate the farther you are from the router antenna especially when you are also behind at least one wall in the shed. The farther the signal has to travel and the more items that the signal passes through the more will be the attenuation of the signal and the more interference that will be encountered. As you have 72 Mbps you must be using wireless N as your router.

Technically, those are "speeds" or "optional" parameters. Mode is "G" mode or "N" mode. N mode is better than G mode only if all devices connecting together are N mode, otherwise, if any one device is at G mode, both ends will run in G mode. Vendors usually have some "speed enhanced" options, called "modes". Those are usually only relaible between the same vendor's adapters. Stay away from those "optional" speeds....
