Some people think that the ark is a safe haven from the destructive power of the halos because of biblical reference that occurs frequently throughout the first two games. People think that the ark is referring to Noah's ark which was a boat that protected Noah from a flood that engulfed the planet. I personally agree with this theory.
For your second point:
How are people still alive if the whole galaxy was wiped of sentient life? If the ark is earth and my, and some others' theory is correct, because the safe haven would have provided protection the people on the earth while it wiped out all other life.
The problem with your theory is this: where did life on earth originate if the whole galaxy was wiped of life? To me, there seems no point for them to come from another galaxy, which is the only option physically possible, correct me if I'm wrong.
