They use bullets of the same diameter, but with different weight ranges, which happen to overlap. The .380 uses a 9mm diameter bullet in a 17mm long case. The 9mm uses a 9mm diameter bullet in a 19mm long case.

No! Both of those cartridges are ACP where it uses the mouth of the case to establish proper head spacing and to prevent the round from dropping too far in to the barrel. The cases are of different lengths. 9mm is 19mm (.754in) and the 380 is .680 in. The 380 will drop in to a 9mm barrel, but would be dangerous to shoot. The action of a 380 will not close on a 9mm.

Why is it called the 380 9mm kurz does it shoot 9mm and 380?
They are the same round. In the "metric world" outside the US it's called 9mm Kurz (German for "short") and in the US it's called the .380 ACP. Other names, depending on the country and manufacturer, include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Short and 9x17mm, and there are even some others. The confusion is caused by the fact that US ammo named .38 or .380 is the diameter of the brass cartridge while the bullet is actually .35" (9mm) diameter.
