Why are there any flood alive in halo 1/2 if the forerunner fired the halos already? Wouldn't the flood contained on the halos be killed in the blast?

No, some where protected within certain installations for further research to help and develop a cure and better understand them. The Forerunner knew that they couldn't completely kill the flood. They hoped by firing the rings and keeping the humans and some forerunners alive inside of shield worlds they would buy themselves enough time to develop a cure, humans after all had developed one before the Forerunners eradicated and devolved them.

i am pretty sure the surface of the halo's are not immune to their blast range like the ark or shield worlds

Eat, Sleep, Row

Halo's don't kill flood, they kill their food.

They actually are; they were used as life preservers like the Ark during the Flood War. Why do you think they're populated with entire ecosystems?

The Installations were originally for test subjects. Only until after the Master Builder took the Installations over in order to examine, test and contain the Flood were they used as facilities of containment.

Note as well, when Mendicant Bias fired the Installations above the Forerunner Capital, not all the Installations contained the Flood. Nor, were all the Flood present during the firing.

Not according to Halo: Legends. 343i confirms it was canon. Umad?

Halo kills non-pure forms of Flood.
