My understanding is when two half notes are joined together by 16th note stems that they should be played as repeated 16th notes. Some people seem to play these as trills, which is correct?

This depends entire on the tempo indication - but, if the composer's markings are "pedantic" then they should technical be performed as semiquavers - if the tempo mark is "presto" then I'd just play them as fast as comfortable

Are semiquavers 16th notes? One of the pieces I am referring to is Finlandia. Between G and H and M and N of the Luck Music Library edition it is marked this way. The tempo is Allegro. If compared to the first measure of F it looks like they should be played as 16ths.
The other piece I am referring to is Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. This occurs at number 10 in the Kalmus edition. However, they are marked with 32nd note stems, rather than 16th notes.

Yep - sorry, I don't do "numbers for note values" but I've learned that 16th note equals "semiquavers"

Sneakers...The Sibelius example you cited should be played as 16th notes (semiquavers), and the Debussy should be played as 32nd notes (demisemiquavers). These are not trills.
Actually, the 32nd notes in the passage you cited in the Debussy will actually match the rhythm of the last part of the melodic line that the principal flute is playing...GBK
