I hear about the strength of bombs being described in terms of TNT so I was wondering if it’s actually equivalent. Excluding any side effects like poisoning or radiation, if you detonate a bomb, then simultaneously detonate two bombs with half the strength, would they be the same?

No, they would not be the same. The two bombs with half the strength would produce a significantly weaker explosion than the single bomb by itself. When a bomb is detonated, the energy released by the bomb is determined by the amount of explosive material inside it. When two bombs with half the strength are detonated, the total amount of energy released is less than the energy released by the single bomb by itself.
