Well, in an interview with a couple guys from Bungie (completely slips my mind who and what video it was) there's a part where they're showing bits and pieces of putting together the game. On one part, the screen pans around a whole bunch of troops (suspiciously looking like the crew to a starship) who are each holding a weapon that looks very similar to the human pistol. I think yes there will be one, but it won't be nearly as powerful as the one in Halo.

Perhaps to balance the weapons in the game. Perhaps the pistols on the PoA were more powerful because it was required in low gravity situations. A normal velocity pistol shot would probably change direction slowly or recochete (hope i spelled that right) oddly. Who knows?

He is NOT a Bungie employee. Bungie has more taste than that.

It was a joke. I realise he has absolutely nothing to do with bungie. It's just hilarious he would say he did.

Unknown.
Maybe with an upgrade or a new features, because the Battle Rifle seems to be it's replacement. Scope with single-shots, and unzoomed with three-shot bursts.

Its probably gona be downgraded just so that is wont impede on the strengths of the new Battle Rifle. In the first game the pistol was a more effective against stronger enemies than what a really pistol is designed to do, which is for secondary use against close combat. Since the Battel Rifle now resembles a real assault rifle more than the previous assaut rilfe, which acted more as an SMG being that it fired fast but it had crap accuracy, the pistol can now resume the role as a back-up weapon. Im guessign that they will give the pistol some new feature that will make people want to use rather than just downgrading it and turning it into the old needler.
