Default Can a six mile radio only yield half a watt?/ Interpreting FCC info wrong?

This six mile radio says in the FCC specs that it puts out only less than
half a watt...am I reading that right?

You're reading it wrong. The rules limit the power, and there's no
stretching of that. But, the manufacturers can stretch the truth about
the range, if there was a fine print disclaimer next to that range statement
it would likely be under very limited conditions.
