Yes, if there are X calories in 100 grams then there would be half that amount of calories in half the amount of grams.

Yes.
The Calorie (big C) used for nutrition is actually a thousand calories (small c) used in science : the energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Celsius.
Since it takes 1000 small-c calories to make one big-C Calorie, then it is called kcal (kilocalories, where kilo = 1000)
If they give you values for 100 g, and you have 50 g, then you divide by 2.
This is true for kcal, lipids, carbohydrates, sodium...
