1-And yes you're right ozpin did fight cinder but if she were to suddendly barge in and fire her arrow while he's unaware, would it be completly out of the question for him to be incapacated while his guard is down?

2-After all he couldn't prevent amber being killed (he's concentrating on the machine to transfer aura after all)

3-and even then, he could still lose to half power cinder before the transfer is complete, I'd assume she's still extremely powerful even as a half maiden. 1-Yes. Because Aura and Badassery that we saw first-hand. If he was KOd by a single puny arrow, it would be bullshit. This is the man who gave a full-Maiden Cinder a good fight, even if he still lost.

2-And? He trusted Jaune to at least stand guard. If something went wrong with the transfer (without Cinder's intervention), and he wasn't paying attention to that, the result could've been worse.

3-No. Absolutely no. Even Glynda stood a chance against Half-Maiden Cinder. If Cinder had been half as strong as she was when she killed Ozpin, Ozpin would've defeated her with hardly any problems. He would be not only stronger, but far more skilled and experienced.

Cinder was powerful, at least compared to the average Hunter, as a Half-Maiden. But Ozpin was far above any average Hunter.
