Another question for the elders:

If one forgets to do the qunut in witr (+last half of Ramadan), does he have to do prostration of forgetfulness at the end?

NB: This isn't hypothetical - it actually happened while we were praying tarawih with some brothers. We forgot it was the last half!!

For fajr - i know you do but wasn't sure about witr in 2nd half of Ramadan

Qunut in witir (last half of Ramadhan) is sunat ab'ad, and hence doing sujud sahwi (sujud of forgetfulness) for not doing qunut in the witir (last half of Ramadhan) is sunat (desirable/supererogatory).

wallaahu a'lam.
