1. It seems this bears repeating: Rose did not split in half. She became half of Steven, meaning her entire being is part of him. She even said, "We can't both exist...I'm going to become half of you." (Lion 3: Straight to Video)

2. There is a connection between Rose and Lion. As Garnet stated, "It's a little obvious." (Rose's Scabbard) However, a connection does not mean they are the same thing.

3. There is little to no evidence supporting this theory, yet plenty of evidence to debunk it. That doesn't mean it isn't true, it just means it's highly improbable.

Others of you have said this far better than I. Reiteration just seemed like a good idea. The point I was trying to get across is where did Lion come from and why does Lion and Rose have a connection. Like did Rose make Lion to be a guardian towards Steven? I apologize, as at the time of my post I hadn't seen any of yours. It's possible Rose did create Lion or something along those lines. As for why Pearl was unaware of Lion's existence, the point of the episode was showing her relationship with Rose. While Rose did confide in Pearl more than the others, Pearl said herself that the mark of a great leader is knowing what to keep hidden from those you love most (something similar to that, at least). Rose clearly had her reasons for keeping Lion a secret from everyone, including Pearl. Those reasons have yet to be revealed, but, in time, they will. All we can do is wait and see.
