Is it normal for 1993 Chrysler Imperial to have a temperature above half on the temperature gage?

Yes it is normal. The running temperature of an engine is affected by several factors, the load the engine is under, eternal temperature, the speed at which it is running etc. In addition the gauges fitted to cars indicate a safe 'range' rather than a specific temperature to reflect this. So long as the indicator remains within the safe range eveything should be fine.

How does the radiator fan know to come on?

Most often there is a temperature sensor that tells the fan to run or not: above 165F (in a lot of cases) the fan goes on, below that it is off to allow the engine to warm up to running temperature. It varies from car to car and even day to day based on readings that the cars computer takes in running the engine.
