You should look in the Rambam hil Issurei Biah which was referenced.
Concerning a case of someone half Jewish and half non-Jewish - there IS
such a case like that in the Minchas Chinuch mizvah 347 (p 542-3 in the
new editions), but the the way one gets there is totally different and is
talking about a different eved altogether ayin shom.
I would recommend going through that MC, where he outlines 3 types of
eved with all the details.
