It depends on who is responding to the question. It also matters if you are filling up the cup, or drinking it.
An optimist, focusing on what he or she has, observes what is in the glass - the full half. A pessimist, on the other hand, focuses on what is missing, what he or she doesn't have - the empty half.
It is always full. It may be filled with 50% of water and 50% of air, or any variation of competing percentages, but it is always full of something even if it looks empty as it could be FULL of air.
It's completely empty until you put something in it.
The cup is half full. A glass can't be half empty because half of nothing is still nothing
If you pour water into a cup until its filled half way, the cup of water is half full.
If you fill a cup of water completely, then empty half of the water, the cup is half empty.
If I told you I poisoned the water in the cup, would it matter if it's half full or half empty?
The cup is not half full or half empty. The cup may be 1/8 off of being half full/empty, but it would take mad skill to get the cup exactly half full/empty. I suggest you do not ask a question, but rather a statement, like, "The cup is 1/4 filled." or "The cup is 3/4 filled." I assume you noticed I said "Filled" instead of "Full" or "Empty". But, since there is the one in a million chance that one of us has some crazy awesome mad skill, I guess you should ask "Does the pot have half of the pasta it can hold?" but add "And you can't say if it's filled!". So, the cup is half filled.

Yes, a tank of oxygen can be half full. The oxygen would be stuck in said tank meaning no more oxygen can get in unless refueld.

There is no establish tradition of having an empty chair at a seder. There are some groups today who have an empty chair at the table in honour of friends and/or family who have been killed in war or who are in the military and cannot be present at the seder. The actual tradition is to have a full glass of wine on the table during the seder. This cup is for the prophet Eliyahu who is said will arrive before HaMoshiach does to anounce his arrival and anoint him.
