I think they didn't go there in the first place because the Ark could not detonate all the Halos at once until one of them started up but then was aborted. Guilty Spark guy said after Ms. Keyes aborted the sequence (pulled out Index) that since it was aborted, NOW it could be activated remotely. That might of been what the prophet/s were/was waiting for. They counted on the humans stopping the sequence. They also sacraficed Tarturus im guessing
When you activate a Halo it activates the one your on, yes.
Maybe he let the prophet die because he didn't like him. I don't know the answer to that one.
My opinion is that the Great Journey is just a way to control the Covenant below the prophets and to get them to do what the prophets want. There is no real "Great Journey". Just so they can tell people "Hey, guard the Halo so the "Great Journey" can be done" or "Kill that guy for the sake of the "Great Journey"". As to what the Prophets really want with the Halos I don't know.
