Morning!
1)
Yep, till is the shortened form of UNTIL. And it is more informal in style.

2) No, 1 pound would be = 0.45359237 kilograms, or you could in a loosely way to
say it´s a half-kilo (not in recipes, please, they sell graduated jars with the measures in kilos, pounds, grams, cups etc)



==========================================================
On the other way, in proverbs it may be translated into kilos, like this:

'An ounce of example is worth a pound of exhortation.
'Um grama de exemplo vale mais do que um quilo de exortação.' (source:linguee)
===============================================

The other pound is the currency in U.K. (wich, they say, were to be replaced by the Euro, but seems like it coexists with the Euro up to day.)
