1. We can assume the door of time being closed as Link returns from the completed future, so Ganondorf got his piece of the Triforce through another way: Link was send back with his ToC, causing it to break in the Adult timeline, but also dissapear from the apparently untouched Triforce of the Child timeline: thus causing Zelda and Ganondorf to receive their pieces without knowing.
Ganondorf won't be captured because in some kind of war, he'll most like be captured by the sages themselves (the old ones). Why, because he doesn't know he has the ToP to rebel against them. Why did they want to capture him? Easy: he killed a Guardian Deity, tried to kill another one and then tried to kill the entire Goron race...

You're forgetting the scene at the end of OoT in which Link was in the master sword chamber, with the Door of Time clearly wide open. If Link was sent back before the door was opened, either he or zelda must have opened it again, or someone else did. If Link or Zelda opened it, Link having the ToC on his hand indicates that someone grabbed the triforce again and it split again. This seems very unlikely, since they wouldn't open the door again without being more careful this time, and since the triforce splitting and Ganon getting the ToP be terrible, Link would look very alarmed, which he doesn't, as he calmly returns the Master Sword and Navi flies off. It's also highly unlikely that Zelda would give her ocarina of time to someone else. If Ganondorf somehow convinced her he was good and needed it, Link, knowing the truth, would likewise look very alarmed, since Ganon got the triforce again. But, as mentioned, Link calmly puts the Master Sword back at the end of the cutscene. So: either no-one has the Triforce (clearly not the case, since it's on his hand), or Zelda sent him back AFTER the door was already open, so Ganon has it but is either already defeated or in the process of being defeated.
