Yes. I'm not great with TURTLE, so for the avoidance of doubt, the above
is the same as this:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/0.1/foaf/> .
_:bnode1 foaf:name "Ivan" .

Correct.

Yes. However, I'm going to be pedantic here: In JSON-LD, the "value" of
the JSON key-value pair can be an associative array. An associative
array in JSON-LD can be thought of as a self-contained graph. When it is
in the "value" position, the current predicate is linked to the
self-contained graph. That is, this:
{ "ex:prop" : { "foaf:name" : "Ivan" } }
would give you this:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/0.1/foaf/> .
_:bnode1 ex:prop _:bnode2 .
_:bnode2 foaf:name "Ivan" .
