I have no idea what the Forerunner look like, but I presume they are quite large. Their architecture is quite large.
Humans are not forerunner, nor vice versa. The Forerunner found Earth and found Humans. The Forerunner chose humanity as their successors because humans possessed something the sangheili, san'shyuum, jiralhanae, and all the other sentient and sapient species didn't possess. Something that has never been made clear, but something that the forerunner saw in humanity that elevated it, at least in their minds, above the others.
I also recall vaguely that they really liked Earth. It was noted as possessing a high number of organism species and an incredibly diverse set of climates (unlike the planet of, for example, the Yanme'e, which possessed volcanic and glacial environments, mostly). I think it was the combination of a great planet and a great species that got their vote.
I like this idea a lot but I am not going to accept it yet.
Forerunners could of done Battleship Galactica type thing and settled the earth in the time of the cavemen. Decided to live a simple life. Forgot their previous technology and started over.
