A.Dear,

My answers to your questions:

1. Your father can gift you a portion of the property i.e., 50 % or less than that or more than that. There is no requirement that the gift deed should be 100% only.

2 a. No. After the transfer of the property by parents to son, the son becomes absolute owner of the property and the son's wife's doesn't anyway become nominee by default. It is the absolute right of the donee (son) to decide who he want to name nominee for his property.

2 b. Yes you can do so.

3. Once the property is transferred via gift deed and registered in the donee's name, the donee can transfer the property to anyone he wishes to.

4. Once the property is transferred to you via gift deed and registered in your name and on account of you being the owner of the property, you can gift deed your 50% share of the property to your sister and there is no need to take the consent of your parents and you and your sister's presence at the sub registrar's office to do the registration of the property is enough.
