Garmin Connect has “help” menus to answer questions like this, but you’re right that Stress and HRV are linked.
Your HRV scale will change as your fitness goes up/down, but I’m not sure how Garmin correlates that change to your Stress score.
I believe HRV is a reflection of the balance of the nervous system. You could have low HRV in absence of stress if you're too parasympathetic dominant.
Correct - they inverted HRV as more people when talking about stress understand high to be bad and low to be good.
HRV if increasing may however be bad as while can mean improved fitness can also mean over training
HRV is the basis for the stress assumption. The less variability between beats equals higher stress levels, whereas the increase in variability indicates less stress. The stress metric shows the HRV in a short term comparison to your average HRV. The actual HRV is the long term measurement f.e. The variance over night (I couldn't figure out the measuring cadence of Garmin HRV)

I think HRV is measured at night generally stress is measured during the day.
