If so, how does it stack? Do I get 50% enemy's hp dealt as chaos damage?

As such they stack additively.

You would have a 45% chance for cursed enemies you kill to explode, a 20% chance for non-cursed enemies you kill to explode, and a 25% chance for cursed enemies your minions kill to explode. They explode for 25% of their maximim health in chaos damage.

This is correct.

Like I tested it a few hours ago after mark said someone else was right. And now I'm wondering if it was never ment to work the way I describe and is a bug. But I'm telling you it works and I dont know what my life is anymore im so confused. Am I in a dream?

Obliteration and Profane Bloom have definitely never worked the way you imply here. Both stats are providing a chance for the same thing - they add the chance together, just like multiple sources of chance to freeze.

If you have stats causing different kinds of on-death explosions, those are separate, and roll their chances (if they have them) separately, and multiple such different explosions occur. But in this specific case, the OP is asking about two stats that are providing a chance for the same explosion (25% of life as chaos).

Can several on-death explosion effects apply at once?

E.g. a shocked enemy exploding for lightning damage because of Inpulsa's Broken Heart and simultaneously exploding for chaos damage because of Obliteration (and maybe explode for cold damage at the same time because they were shattered while under the effect of Herald of Ice)?

Several on-death explosions can occur at once, yes. However, in this case, these stats are both supplying a chance for the same explosion, not two different ones. Just like how a hit can inflict multiple ailments, but two sources of chance to freeze will add together, not roll separately to inflict two separate freezes, these two stats are chance to cause the same explosion, so the chance adds together. Other, different explosions will have independant chances to occur, and multiple such explosions can occur.
