We're never what we invent or intend.

Keyes could see the Chief, they were physically close and he could still speak.
Cortana Moments are actually something to do with the Chief's CNI transponder.Largely true, but I don't recall Keyes speaking to Chief when he was in the room with him, sooo...
However, CNI stands for Command Neural Implant, which Keyes definitely has. From what we understand of the Flood, the host's brain tissue is largely intact. It has to be, in order for the Flood to utilize their knowledge and skills. Keyes's "absorbtion" was his mind being dominated, not destroyed per se.
Therefore, while he was struggling and fighting against the Proto-Gravemind, he tried to warn the Chief by sending messages through his CNI.
