Your questions were easily answered by looking up the definitions of the terms "finitely many" and "countably infinite".
Are you aware that having a mathematician tell you a question is easily answered without actually answering it is actually the punch line to a joke? Closest I can find on the web is the 2nd one on this page.
You asked why you were downvoted. I told you why; you asked a question that showed you hadn't made even a cursory attempt to understand the terms in the question.
The answers, in case you still haven't put in the minimal effort required, are
Yes, a finite portion of an infinite set is infinitely less than half.
Yes, all but a finite number of an infinite set is infinitely more than a finite number.
This is not fancy jargon. These are terms anyone who has taken highschool calculus would know.
