: 3) Some said both terms refer to the same central structure.

I think that Ohel Mo'eid refers to the enclosed structure of the Miskan,
when it refers to the Mishkan. If the term included the chatzeir which
has no roof, calling it an "ohel" would be odd.

However, Ohel Mo'eid is a more generic term for a structure where the
Shechinah could be experienced. Moshe's place of prophecy when it was
outside the camp was also called an Ohel Mo'eid. Shemos 33:6-11.

Gut Voch!
