A homonym is same sound, for different spelling and meaning- e.g. pale and pail- or rode and road,  or two, too & to -  yes?

 

A synonym is different word for same meaning- e.g. bucket and pail or  pale and pallid- yes?

 

What is the word for ‘identical word- different meaning’    e.g. tie, (equal score in game, or neckwear)  bolt, (door fastener, run away)

 

Is there a word for same spelling, different meaning and pronounciation- e.g. lead (heavy metal, dog restraint, past tense of verb to lead)


How about  polyseme? (unfortunately doesn't end in nym).
