Yeah, most of these have been blown way out of proportion by folk in "Halo Vs [Insert other sci fi universe here]".
1) I think it was mentioned somewhere in the terminals that Mendicant Bias resorted to causing premature stellar collapse in order to slow down the Floods progress through the Galaxy. It looked like it required an entire Fleet though, and not just one ship.
2) Your guess is as good as mine. They may be impervious to UNSC standards (Besides perhaps going overkill with a NOVA) as seen in the last cutscene of the halo 3 level The Storm. The new Evolutions story Wages of Sin, in which a Prophet in charge of reverse engineering Forerunner Relics, describes it as being "indestructible matrices of crystal, metal and plastic", possibly indicating invulnerability to the Covenants standards too. Or perhaps just religious rhetoric. It should be known however that the Covenant could not recreate these materials due to a lack of scientific understanding behind them, so that Prophet may be stating its indestructibility out of ignorance.
3) Forerunners could not have known everything about the Galaxy because they only discovered Humanity near the end of the Forerunner-Flood war.
4)Humans and Forerunner existed at the same time. They cannot be the same species. The whole Forerunner fascination with Humanity is that Humans have something about them that stumps even the Forerunner. Earth and its species are said to have been tampered with in the past with the signs being expertly hidden, even by the Forerunners standards. That is described in the Re-release of the Flood.
