No, difficulty does not correlate with the coins mined but the hashrate.
By doubling the hashrate you could mine more coins in a short period of time till it readjusts

but if new coin paid halves, then in effect there will be like doubled difficulty
For each individual miner--yeah. For the whole network--no. Only ~half as many coins will be added to Bitcoin every year, ~5% inflation vs ~10%.
