If the half-life of a radionuclide is 1 month is a sample of it completely decayed after 2 months?

No, it is not. If a radionuclide has a half-life of 1 month, half is gone after 1 month. Half of the half that is left will be gone after 2 months, and that will leave 1/4th of the original amount left after the second month.

Does all nuclear wastes completely disappear after 50 years?
Not by a long shot. The most radioactive isotopes will decay very rapidly and be safe in much less than 50 years (e.g. iodine-131 with a halflife of about 8 days will be gone in less than 2 months), but less radioactive isotopes will decay so slowly they can be around for hundreds of thousand of years (e.g. plutonium-239 with a halflife of 24400 years will be gone in under 200000 years) to longer than the age of the universe (e.g. uranium-238). Slightly oversimplified, the most dangerous isotopes in nuclear waste tend on average to disappear first with less dangerous isotopes persisting for longer periods.
