Stir cracker crumbs and next 3 ingredients together, and press onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Arrange 10 slices of pie in a spoke design in crust, placing 1 cut side of each wedge on crust with narrow ends toward center. Beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add sour cream, half-and-half, and vanilla; beat until blended. Fold in confectioners sugar and flour. Carefully pour cream cheese mixture over pecan pie wedges in pan, making sure wedges stay in place. Arrange pecan halves evenly around edge of cheesecake. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes.
