How does that configuration of a monopole with one radial differ from a
dipole?

The true horizontal dipole (electrically symmetric) radiate in one
direction
only. A monopole in all directions.

So a half wave wire broken at the center is a monopole with a single
radial if it is fed directly with coax?

# Yes. The one leg is the radiator and the second is a ground (like a
# satellite chassis).

So with direct coax connection, one leg radiates and the other leg is
ground?

Yes.

Would you be willing to touch the end of the "ground"/"radial" wire while
transmitting?

The electron density changes periodically in the both legs (while
transmitting).
Are the voltages equal in the both legs?
