Savings Binds have to mature for years before they are at their full value. Once they have matured you can either cash them in for their face value, or save them and allow them to collect interest.
You do not say what these are, however, US Savings Bonds are sold for less than the face value, and attain face value when they are fully mature.

Yes.
When a bond is issued at a discount, it is issued for a price less than par (face value). For example, if you were to purchase a bond with a face value of one thousand dollars for nine-hundred and eighty dollars, you bought the bonds at a discount because you purchased it for less than the bond will pay out at maturity. To calculate the 98, you would divide the purchase price by the par value.
Premium bonds are bonds that you buy that make you eligible to win a cash prize every month. Even if you do not win, your bonds will be 100% secure although you they may become less valuable over time due to inflation.

To calculate present value of the bond you also need to know market interest rate. If , for example these companies were issuing their bonds in the different time and market interest rate was different then bond could be sold at premium(the bond will cost more then its face value), par (same as face value), and discount (bond will cost less then face value.)
How can the price of a company's share be less than the face value of the share?" How can the price of a company's share be less than the face value of the share?"
Because the bond is no longer making money at the rate of current prices. Its future value is less than other equally face bonds so its market price dropes to compensate
less than 0.5

Governments devalue their currency to make debt repayment less costly. Devaluation causes inflation which hurts the value of existing bonds including Government Bonds (e.g. USA Government Treasury Bills). So the government pays back debt in dollars that are worth less. Also, the inflation increases nominal tax revenue that hurts the nation's comsumers as savings is destructed.
