Short story made long, my BIL's breaker feeding his pool house kept
tripping. The Black wire was causing the breaker in the house to trip
so I...

Cut and capped the Black wire on both ends
Left the Red wire alone (connected to power on both ends)
Taped both ends of the White wire Black and connected to power
Taped both ends of the Green wire White and connected to nuetral

The pool house is fed by metal conduit (30 years old) that is not in
contact with main house panel.

So now the pool house is 'grounded' via the conduit and the house is
grounded but now they are not sharing a ground.

Should the nuetral bar of the pool house now be bonded to the box
since the box doesn't have a ground running back to the main panel in
the house?

There is zero chance of pulling new wires because of the number of
bends required to get to the pool house and the size of the conduit.

This is strange and could be dangerous!

The presence of a black wire and a red wire suggests a 240-V feed. If you
eliminate the black, you are only feeding 120-V.

It is a code violation to use the white wire as a hot in this situation.
The tape identifier is meant for switch loops and those kinds of situations.

It is a code violation to use a green wire as a current carrying conductor
in this situation.

If the conduit is not providing a continuous safety ground (you stated that
it is not in contact with the main panel) you could have serious problems.
Is there a bare ground wire? How was the green wire originally connected?
