Half of the pad is ok. But if half of the braking parts were gone then thats a problem.
Not sure what your saying?

Think he was stroking you the back brakes could be out and the fronts would still stop you.

Yea , my back brakes don't lock up unless I'm in 4WD. They'll slow up and help the front brakes out tho, when in 2WD.
