He certainly didn't obtain Indra's chakra and 2.)The Six Paths chakra he stole from TTJ-Madara wasn't Hagoromo's chakra. #1 is for certain, while #2 is iffy I think he obtained some random Madara chakra, not the full "sequence" of chakra needed to obtain the Rinnegan. Else it would be pretty weird, you could just have Ashura and Indra transfer a bit of chakra and it's done.
