Like Spirited said, the literal fact that Ruby and Yang are half-sisters DOES disprove it because they cannot be half-sisters if Ruby is adopted. That would make Ruby the step-sister or adopted sister, not half-sister. "Half-sisters" means that they share a biological parent. In Ruby and Yang's case, they share the same biological father and have two different mothers.

As for Qrow following RNJR in Volume 4, he knew that the enemy knew of her silver eyes by then, so he knew that one of Salem's minions would no doubt go after Ruby. Plus, he was gonna head to Haven anyway.

He told Ruby that the enemies' trail leads to Haven so that she would go there, and considering her silver eye powers will be extremely useful against the Grimm and people like Cinder, it makes sense why he would want to let her in on that stuff. He just has to make sure that she won't get killed along the way, since her silver eyes and her involvement in standing against Salem's plans both put her extremely at risk.

I have a theory for why Tai has the attitude that he has toward Qrow. I think it's possible that Qrow helped Ozpin recruit Summer into going on top secret dangerous missions to fight against Salem's plans because of her silver eyes, and thus, Tai blames Ozpin and Qrow for Summer's death. Tai seemed to not want Ruby to know about her powers, considering that, when she showed she didn't remember using them, Tai's attitude suddenly changed and he tried to change the subject. He was annoyed with Qrow kicking him out because he knew Qrow was about to explain her powers to her, but he may not have wanted to make a scene in opposing Qrow in this. Why wouldn't he want Ruby to know about her powers? Because she would no doubt react exactly how we saw her react: "If I'm so special, then I can help. Right?" He doesn't want Ruby to suffer the same fate as Summer.
