다름 사이에 '왠지'하고 '왜지' 있어요?
I think I asked this question right?

No, it needs correction.
Correction:
Is there a difference between '왠지' and '왜지'?
'왠지'하고 '왜지' 사이에 차이가 있어요?
or
'왠지'와 '왜지'가 다른가요?
I know 왠지 is short for 왜인지 and means something like "I don't know why but..."
Does 왜지 have the same meaning?

The word "왜(이)지?" means "why is it (that)?"
Sometimes, interrogative adverb 왜(why) can be used as interrogative noun. The interrogative noun 왜 can be replaced with the noun phrase "어떤/무슨 이유/까닭 (what reason/cause) or "무엇을 하려고(what for)".
And It is ended in a.vowel 'ㅐ', so the letter '이' can be left.out when the predicative case particle or copula '-이다' follows it.
Consider the following examples.
Why is it (that ...)?
왜(-이)냐?, 왜냐?
왜(-이)지?, 왜지? 왜지요? 왜죠?
왜일까? 왤까?
왜냐고 하면,
왜냐 하면,
왜냐면,
(If you ask) why it is (that),
or
(it is) because
왜인지 (몰라도/모르게),
왜(-이)-ㄴ지,
왠지 (몰라도/모르게),
I don't know why (it is), but
or
without knowing why (it is)
