1. Your question about Master Chiefs fate is probably by far the most difficult to answer. Theories are all over the board in regards to where the chief ended up. Its obvious that during his escape from the Ark the slipspace portal he was going through collapsed. There are two main theories in regards to where he ended up both of which could be completly wrong.

The first theory states that Mendicant Bias (an ancient Forerunner AI) purposly closed the portal and that the planet you see in the legendary ending is in fact a Forerunner world. This theory has several clues to it being a possibility. Firstly when the sun rises and you see the legendary planet in more detail there are lights covering its surface. Some speculate these are cities. Many of these light form known Forerunner letters in there alphabet. Secondly we know that at least a fragment of Mendicant Bias was located on the arc. The proof lies within the terminal located on the second to last level of Halo 3. Within the terminal Mendicant Bias is clearly speaking and many believe his words are directed towards the Master Chief. Mendicant basically that he has seen the error of what he did in the past and that he is going to use someone (Master Chief) to be his messenger to his former masters so that they can see he changed his ways. He also says while he realizes one life can hardly balence the billions that were lost in the Flood Forerunner war he would like for the person to be the instrument of his salvation and that he would "make the way stable". This has led many to believe that Mendicant being the advanced AI he is changed the directory of the slipspace portal while chiefs ship was going through and sent the chief to the Forerunners.

The second theory is that the chief has ended up at a shield world and in fact it could be ONYX itself. Theres some problems with it being ONYX though the biggest of which is that ONYX basically exploded into billions of sentinals and all that is left of it is a tiny Dison Sphere.
