In Romans 10, Paul is discussing the Lord Jesus, and in verse 13, he writes (NKJV, emphasis mine):

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

The reason "LORD" is capitalized by the New King James Version here is that in Joel 2:32, the original verse Paul quotes, the word used is YHWH/Jehovah. Yet Paul uses this verse in reference to Jesus.

Is the person referenced by the word "Lord" in Romans 10:13 the same Person referenced by "Lord" in Romans 10:9 and Romans 10:12 (i.e., Jesus)? If so, then would the referent of Joel 2:32's "YHWH" be the same Person referenced by "Lord" in Romans 10:13 since Paul quotes Joel? Thanks!

yes.

And in Heb 8:6-13 you find that the YHWH speaking at Sinai is Christ, who is also the one speaking the New Covenant to Jeremiah in Jer 31:31-34 - according to Paul in Heb 8.
