Answer 1

var submitBtnElm = $('input[data-behavior=saveContribution]');

  it('Should Search', function() {
    browser.driver.get('http://localhost/enrollments/osda1.html');   
    browser.driver.findElement(by.id('contributePercentValue')).sendKeys(50);
    submitBtnElm.click().then(function() {

    });
    browser.pause(); // it should leave browser alive after test
  });

browser.pause() should leave browser alive until you let it go.

@Edit Another approach is to set browser.ignoreSynchronization = true before browser.get(...). Protractor wouldn't wait for Angular loaded and you could use usual element(...) syntax.
