If I normal summon Fusiler Dragon, his attack is halved, if Catapult Turtle is on the field and I use it's effect to Fusiler, how LP does my opponent lose 1400 or 2800?
The reason I ask is that Megamorph makes him 5600...instead of 2800.
Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field. Inflict damage equal to half of the Tributed monster's ATK to your opponent's Life Points.
Now Most cards go off what we call Current Attack. It is what Attack Power the monster is at the moment, It includes Equips and those attacks altered by effects like Jeriod or Slate. That is what they are normally referring to when it comes to Attack. 9 times out of 10 this is what cards mean, for example catapult Turtle counts the current attack. Even if its a 10,000 atk Skull Servant. You Tribute it off your opponent takes 5,000. It does not count the Original Printed Attack.
Now in the case of Megamorph it counts the Original Attack. Original Attack is what is printed on the card Itself. The Original attack of a Card is Never Changed. Ectoplasmer is one of these cards, it contains the magical word Original in the text, this is what makes it count Original Printed Attack, take a look:

equal to half of the original ATK
, Do not confuse Current Attack with Original Attack.

Megamorph
Equip Spell
While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, double the original ATK of a monster equipped with this card. While your Life Points are higher, halve the original ATK.
When it specifies Original attack it means what was printed on the card, so when it comes to Monsters like Fusilier, the Original Printed attack on the Card is 2800.
Say you Equip a Relinquished with a Megamorph. That Relinquished also just happens to have a Blue Eyes Making it a 3000 attack monster. The 3000 Attack Part of Relinquished is the Current Attack. 9/10 this is what they mean by attack.
If you were to equip Megamorph to Relinquished, it would take his Original Attack which is 0 and Double it. You Double 0 you get 0. You Halve 0 you get 0.
Catapult Turtle Goes off Current Attack, if you Summon Fusilier without Tributes he is 1400 and if you then use Catapult Turtle, your opponent takes 700.
When trying to Determine what they mean whether it be Original Attack or Current Attack look for these.
Original Printed Attack: Original, Printed
Current Attack: The attack of this card, The Attack, monster's ATK
Of course, with all that in mind, if you use Megamorph on Fusilier (and your LP is lower), causing the doubling of printed attack to 5600 and tribute it for Catapult Turtle's effect, then your opponent will take 2800 damage.
