If you have a command squad with a captain and have a chaplain as part of that, would half+1 of the command squad including or not including the chappie have to be killed for your opponent to get half points for the retinue?

Not include. The chappy is independent. So if every member of the command squad dies except the Capt. and the Chappy, you've got two separate independent characters.
