Maybe spark wasn't rampant. bear in mind that there are theories flying around about Chief and time travel. after H3 legendary ending, he gets chucked back in time, fights some more flood, then activates the rings for the first time.
^made up off the top of my head^
BS!
I was one of the first to come up with that I believe.
About how the forerunner defeated the flood, the answer is very simple. They didn't. If you read Halo 4, in plain sight, it may clarify somethings for you. If the flood is not of this galaxy then more might be coming. Also the forerunner didn't winningly let themselves be consumed. They enacted a type of cole protocol as well, to stop its advance. Just 1 planet with intact ships and other archives would mark the beginning of the downfall of the entire Precursor race.
Also about Sparks, I think humanity could in-fact be forerunner as well. A few of them may have cross breed (naturally, or artificially it doesn't matter). Both species having a similar genetic make up would no doubt have made this easier. Also we know forerunner are indeed very human like in emotions and perhaps body shape.
No we don't. None of that has been confirmed or even clarified, it is only a theory.
