They were in the other half of the Statesman and evacuated before the Benatar arrived. Thor found them with Stormbreaker and brought them to earth, possibly also with Stormbreaker.
Then he got into the habit of using Stormbreaker, weapon of kings, to open beer bottles
well, the answer why half of them survived is in your question - thanos killed half of them, spared the other half, because that is what he wanted to do, right up to the moment he did it.
how they got to earth we can't say. presumably it's one of the things that happened during that five year gap.
