Default Dipole-2 different wire sizes?

The braid and the arm are together the counterpoise.

Have you the same voltages on the braid and on the coax "live" wire?

If not, than you heve the monopole. But it is nothing wrong if in your
community it is call "dipole".

You seem to think that the braid of the coax is a ground and the
voltage there is always zero.

But that is not how things work.

A length of cable, whatever cable it is, is not a short circuit on HF.
