The sag iss due for a service shortly, and talking to one of the indie's, they said they would only remove 50% of the oil on the service, thereby leaving 50% old oil in the engine, is this right ? it's low mileage & 2 year's old.

No.

Depends how they do it. if they just drain the oil tank then they would be correct .. if i recall the complete system is something like 12/13 litres but th oil tank only holds about 7 litres

Oil change is an oil change, it's not correct to leave 6000 mile old oil in the engine and claim it's had an oil change and I'm sure thats not what you would do as part of a S6 service.

Does that mean its half price then?

my advice - DONT take it there then! and it would be good to know 'who' suggests that too!
