true
No, the inverse is not the negation of the converse. Actually, that is contrapositive you are referring to. The inverse is the negation of the conditional statement. For instance:P → Q~P → ~Q where ~ is the negation symbol of the sentence symbols.
This is not always true.
This would be logically equivalent to the conditional you started with.
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
The converse of an inverse is the contrapositive, which is logically equivalent to the original conditional.
The converse of this conditional statement would be: if I am in the south, then I am in Mississippi. It essentially swaps the hypothesis and conclusion of the original conditional statement.
