Yes, they were half brother and sister. What's up with that? At the time, there was nothing wrong with it. God brought such to an end when He instituted the Mosaic law covenant.
We are the product of, among other things, our cultures and environment. We are taught from infancy that such relationships are wrong so we cannot conceive of it ever being acceptable. But at one time, it was.

Sarah and Abraham were half brother and sister and cousins as far as I know.
Cousins often got married in those days, and still do in middle east

Sarah was either Abraham's niece or cousin, depending on which commentator is correct.

Abraham said she was his father's daughter but not his mother's daughter, but whether she was an actual daughter or stepdaughter wasn't said.
Biological siblings from father are often relatively less discouraged than ones from mother.
A child is more biologically attached to the mother than to the father.

No. Sarah was originally a priestess in the temples of Ur.

It seems they were second cousins.
Not the wisest but no problem
