Yes, it's still considered a pound of bacon even though it probably weighs less after cooking! Sometimes you have to watch how a recipe is worded ..... if a recipe calls for one cup of chopped walnuts it's different than if it calls for one cup of walnuts- chopped. One measures the walnuts after chopping and one before. The amount of nuts would be different. If your recipe would perhaps say "one pound of bacon cooked and crumbles" it means the weight of the bacon before cooking!

A pound of bacon prior to cooking is 16 ounces.. After cooking, it can be down to 8 ounces.. BUT if a recipe called for a pound of bacon, it would refer to the UNCOOKED bacon (16 ounces) UNLESS specifically called AFTER cooking...

Its not, its two pounds, because if you eat that 1/2 pound of cooked bacon it will put 2 pounds on your waist

Yes, although some of the fat has been rendered out of the bacon it is still considered a pound of bacon.

Yes. If you are following a recipe that calls for a "pound of bacon", that means precooked weight.
