Not sure where you got the genome from but if you take a look at the headers that should give you an idea of what the (
705 - Normal Chr/MT) listings are. Most should be unplaced contigs (markedchrUn), contigs that are unlocalized in a specific spot (>chr22_KI270738v1_random) etc.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/human/
There is no such thing as the human genome. There are various human reference genomes (different builds, different versions) and you need to pick the one that fits your application. If there are many ALT contigs included, or it is not a reference genome but an individual assembly, 705 scaffolds might be an accurate number.
You will have to share more info on the genome if you want more specific replies.

A fasta file is always "haploid" in terms of that regardless of ploidy you always have a single sequence per chromosome.
