Is this legit?

There's 512GB SD, but not micro-SD. SD is the larger physical size, not used in phones. AFAIK 256GB is currently the largest available genuine micro-SD, from Sandisk and Samsung. Maybe later in the year there might be one, likely from Sandisk first.

That "USA Discount Warehouse" quite frankly looks like a scam site, very possibly in China or Pakistan or something. And I can tell that English is not their first language.

Agreed. Nobody is offering a microSD larger than 256GB, and since you always pay a premium for the highest capacity available I'd be very suspicious of anyone offering one of those cheaply.

Some outfit nobody called Microdia claimed they were releasing a 512GB microSD back in 2015, but it still isn't listed amongst their available products 2 years later. My guess is that their CEO's bonus was due and they were trying to boost their share price...
 
Did a little legwork on the site and they are registered through Godaddy and using privacy service to keep the whois records generic. The site is hosted out of California, but the company's address on the website is in Florida. According to Google maps, that address is a vacant property in a strip mall next to a nail salon.

Now, I'm not saying that this isn't a legit business as often times these kinds of discounters occupy whatever commercial space is available and cheap, but it seems to me they are doing an awful lot to keep you from knowing exactly who they are.
 
Of course anyone can register an anonymous site and rent a US server via Godaddy for a few bucks. It's what's on the "about us" page I found interesting. https://usadiscountwarehouse.com/about/

My 14 year old Chinese students can do better than that. Along with the generic business people images.
