I have seen where the framing (stud) is run through the subfloor and tied into the floor joists below, which would be very solid. Are there any other alternatives to anchoring a half wall?

How high you need it? you can go up 4 feet without going into the floor joist. if you frame it up right, the structure itself will solid enough AFTER you drywall it. the dryall will tighten it up, to where you don't need to go down to the floor joist. frame it up 12" oc.
