Keehn, Welcome! Yes, unfortunately, it is a possibility that you could be admin separated. If they notify you of that, please let us know.

My goal is to continue Navy service, get accepted to a rating (I am striking for Legalman, am currently E-2 undesignated), and make the Navy a career.

This works in your favor as the legal field is not the most physically arduous rate.

My big question is: What is my chance of staying in the Navy?

This really depends on how you are impacted in your duty performance. It sounds like you have minimal limitations, so this bodes well for you.

According to my research, non-acute RF is considered 0% disability, if I got discharged, would I get a severance, or just a "don't let the door hit you on your way out" (pre-existing condition separation)?.

A 0% rating still gets you severance pay in the DoD Disability Evaluation System. You would get credited with a minimum 3 years of service if your condition is found to be compensable. It sounds like you want to fight for a fit finding and continued service, though.
Hope this was helpful and please let us know any questions.
