compact cameras
Are there any compact Point and shoot cameras that have the capabilities of a DSLR?
I find myself carrying my DSLR less often because of the weight. And as a result, I just end up taking a cellphone pictures.
I would like to find a capable point and shoot that is better than my phone and more comparable to my Panny G9 DSLR.

Panasonic do a good range of Compacts in the TZ range. I've got the TZ 90 but I think they are up to the TZ 100 now. The Zoom on them is incredible and the quality is good but suffers under low light. I keep mine in my work bag all the time and rarely take photos on my phone now unless I have to.
I see that the TZ100 has a 25-250mm zoom.
How is the quality zoomed all the way out?
Is the image tracking good?
Does it focus on people's eyes like my DSLR?

Not really. There is a slight overlap in which bridge P&S cameras have somewhat dSLR-like capabilities, but you will be compromising certain features that true dSLRs are able to do. If weight is the issue, but you'd like a camera to have that snappy shutter response of your dSLR, look into mirrorless interchangeable cameras that won't cost too much.
If I were serious about getting a travel camera that's more flexible than my Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II but not as heavy/bulky as my old EOS 650D + EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, it would be the (discontinued) EOS M50/M50 Mark II mirrorless. I'd rather buy an M50 than the PowerShot G1X Mark III, even though the latter has an APS-C sensor. π·π
Ricoh GR3x. The image quality and resolution are astonishing (especially when developing in Iridient). It is the only camera I own (and I owned and used a few!), but I will get another one and have it converted to monochrome. They are THAT good.
The GR3 is wider (28 mm vs 40 mm), but the lens is slightly less sharp, but was apparently upgraded in the GR4.
