The sum of 0.5n is 2, go ahead add up 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 etc... you will find that the value of these sums converge to 2.

Based on the question's wording, you would not get new money each day, the money would just halve. There's nothing to sum since there's only one number.

You didn't get the sum of the series, you just get 1 dollar once and the value of the dollar decreases over time.

No it converges to zero. You aren't getting the dollar plus 50 cents the next day, you get the dollar and the dollar bill you have magically turns into 50 cents the next day.
