Halva is made by adding sugar syrup and flavorings to pure tahini.
Most tahini is made with an industrial mill, but you can make it at home with a food processor, although you may need to add some oil to smooth things out.
Tahini is made from raw hulled sesame seeds, while Chinese sesame paste is made from toasted sesame seeds.
