Are you your own ally?

Half-elf Racial Feat:
Group Insight: You grant your allies within 10 squares of you a +1 racial bonus to Insight checks and initiative checks.

Do you get the +1s as well?

Target

If a power directly affects one or more creatures or objects, it has a “Target” or “Targets” entry.

When a power’s target entry specifies that it affects you and one or more of your allies, then you can take advantage of the power’s effect along with your teammates. Otherwise, “ally” or “allies” does not include you, and both terms assume willing targets. “Enemy” or “enemies” means a creature or creatures that aren’t your allies (whether those creatures are hostile toward you or not). “Creature” or “creatures” means allies and enemies both, as well as you.

no.

No. Any instance where something effects you or an ally says "you or an ally" so "ally" is just an ally.

By the wording of the rules, that's how would have adjudicated it as well.
But that seems like a fairly weak feat with no benefit for the Half-Elf.

I guess tha half means they move half as fast as the rest of the party.
