E.g., Does the IG have authority to subpoena Halper? Does he have authority to subpoena Brennan, Clapper, or Comey?


Nope, nope and (yes). IG will only have jurisdiction over FBI and DoJ. He will have zero jurisdiction to investigate the CIA or any other agency who were also neck deep in this.


I think the FBI OIG has subpoena power that extends only to the FBI since the OIG's investigation is an internal work. To subpoena folks outside the FBI, the OIG will turn to the DOJ. The DOJ can issue such subpoenas and also start a Grand Jury. I don't think the IG can force subpoena Comey since he's now retired from the FBI.
