I have the chance to buy a Tamron 150-500 mm z lens for a full frame Nikon mirrorless camera. I have the z50 which is not full frame. I know that you can put fx lenses on dx bodies, but is the same true for full frame z lenses on a crop sensor body like the z50?

The lens hood will be wrong, no harm but kinda uselss. (Zoom lens hoods are pretty silly anywho.) Otherwise good to go.

Z camera = Z mount. The same rules that apply to FX and DX F-mount DSLRs and their lenses apply to the Z mount cameras and lenses.

This may apply, hope it does. I rented that lens in the version for my Sony 𝜶6500 which is an APS-C camera. I can't image how the hood would be a factor since it goes on the front of the lens. That lens is really, really good. It compares very well against lenses costing much more.

If the mount fits your camera then the only difference from full frame will be the coverage. In other words, the lens is able to cover a "full frame" sensor but on a crop frame camera it will only show you the smaller, center portion. The crop frame also means that your photo will appear to have been taken with a 225-750.

Yes, it will work, and your field of view will be about 225-750 mm. That should give you great reach.
Just so you know, the Nikon 180-600 would also be a great choice, and it would give you a field of view of about 270-900 mm. New, the Nikon is $500.00 more. But 3 years from now, the Nikon will be worth about a $1000.00 more than the Tamron, so you will break even after about 3 years.
Third party lenses generally do not bring high value used.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
