You also mentioned that Cortana was "forced to talk or weak transmission". I doubt very much she was forced, and chances are, she is just simply corrupt. The things she says are strange indeed, but it may have to do with John's past, present and his future. This is what she says "I have defied gods, and demons, I know you, your past, you're future". I don't know if the chief was actually able to hear her, because maybe it was just something to give ambiance to the trailer...
And, the only reason we couldnt see other banshees and phantoms is because they are probably too far away, look at those HUGE covenant cruisers in the distance, if we can hardly see them, we definately cant see a banshee or even a phantom...
