Can a prickly pear be grown from a pad cut from another prickly pear? If
so, is the donor pad cut in half, then planted?

Thanks,

Yes. I don't know of any reason to cut the pad, but it won't hurt.
Make sure you let the cut surface dry and callus before you plant it.
Even easier, just throw the pad on the ground, roots will come out
whichever part of the pad is lowest.
