Fred wasn't part of Blue team, he was leader of Red team. The team that went planetside to try to halt the Covenant from destroying the generators for the orbital weapon systems.
Blue Team consisted of John, James and Linda. James EVA module was damaged and propelled him into space. Linda was critically wounded and put into Cryo.
As none of Red Team made it back to PoA and Linda was mortally wounded, Chief was the last Spartan. To help keep him alive, he was placed in cryo.
The events of Halo Reach and the novel Fall of Reach contradict one another greatly. For instance.
The novel didn't have S-IIIs there and according to Ghost of Onyx, they shouldn't of been there. Nor did they use Mjlonir armor or have the capabilities of the S-IIs.
Halsey wasn't found or rescued by S-IIIs but by S-IIs after PoA left the system.
PoA was never on the planet either, it dropped John and Blue team off at a space dock then picked them back up then left. Never went planetside and John wasn't in Cryo until after leaving the system.
However, I believe Bungie/343 have said that the games trump the novels in terms of contradictions. Seems sad they could work a little continuity out.
While the majority of your post was correct, there was one error. In Halo: Reach, Halsey was escorted to CASTLE base by Jun. Then in the books, Halsey was rescued from CASTLE base by the Spartan-IIs after ordering an unknown Spartan to evacuate the base.
Also, Halsey didn't know Noble Team was made of Spartan III's (as the only other Spartan III's she meets are kids, as opposed to the fully grown members of Noble) as stated by her diary. She just knew they were not her Spartans and supposed ONI had their own secret Spartans or that they might be members of Project: JAVELIN.
