Life is just a dream.

Because the portal closed as the Arbiter was on the other side, while Chief was not.

Most likely they both got through the portal. If Chief hadn't gotten through, Halo would've killed him.

Medicant Bias diverted him to the Legendary Planet (he says he'll do this in the terminals).

You'll have to get someone who has studied the fiction a little more deeply than the average die-hard fan to answer this question, but I don't think it is entirely clear what happened to the Chief. The Arbiter, and the bow of the Forward Unto Dawn, definitely made it through the portal, as you would expect a ship to do. As for the Chief, he obviously had to go through the portal, otherwise the pulse from Installation 04-II would have killed him. I suspect that he got dropped along the way between The Ark and Earth when the portal cut out, like dropping out of a slip space journey early. How exactly then a very clean line was cut through the Dawn is not really known. At this point, it's all artistic license and sci-fantasy.
