the open end causing a reversal of the current
There is no current flow at the end of a wire antenna, so there is
nothing to reverse. There is a voltage anti-node, the reflected wave is
reflected in phase at the open end of the wire.
Yes, and also no. In order for there to be a net no-current situation
when previously there was current heading toward the open end, the current
reflection is of opposite polarity.
