Are Chechens ethnically considered Russian/Slavic or White or Middle Eastern?
Indians are south east asians
Generally racial terms are not used these days, and biracial is a term used mainly in the USA. Other countries consider this to be a derogatory/racist word.
Chechens are generally considered to be Caucasian, so white - just like Russians and Slavs. India is located in South East Asia, but people from that country are just Indian.
You are half Chechen and half Indian.
It depends by what standards you want to label yourself. In Soviet/post-Soviet schools we've been taught that there are only 3 races: Mongoloid (incl Amerindians and Australoids), Europeoid and Nеgroid races. According to this very classification Semites, Persians, Indians belonged to Europeoid race.
But there are also tons of other classifications. And most Europeans don't really accept the idea, that Semites and Indians are of the same racial stock.
Finally, all those classifications are created by people. People, who were/are/will be just like you and me. And as you probably know, people can be biased. Say, J.Blumenbach - a kosher "scientist" obsessed with Caucasus (ancient Khazaria, where probably his own ancestors came from) even distorted some ideas to such an extent, that according to him some ethnicities from Caucasus were "perfect examples" of Caucasian race, and Caucasian = a synonym of "White".
So, you choose what fits your standards... if you think it'll make your life better. Why do some people just can't accept the idea that they are humans is beyond my understanding.
Understand, that even if I say that Chechens, who are Middle Easterners (Semites mixed with Turkic) and Indians are not White/Europeoid, it won't make you less of a human. These are just labels. The less you fix on them, the freer you are.

R: Chechen along with their Caucasian ethnological 'kindred' are, as previously defined, as Kavkazians or members of the Nakh peoples.
"A 2011 study by Oleg Balanovsky and a number of other geneticists showed that the Y-DNA haplogroup J2a4b* (a subclade of J2, located mainly in the Middle East, Caucasus and Mediterranean) was highly associated with Nakh peoples. J2a4b* accounted for the majority of the Y-chromosomes of Ingush and Chechen men, with the Ingush having a much higher percentage, 87.4%, than Chechens, who had 51–58% depending on region (the lowest being in Malgobek, the highest in Dagestan and Achkhoy-Martan)."

Russians are subdivided into three primary subsets that constitute the Rus'/Русь metaethnicity (not as compartmentalizing as say other ethnolingistic 'clans'): Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians. The Great Russians (Russia "proper") are further partitioned into two genetically differentiated (or three) geographical populations: Northern, Central (perhaps), and Southern Russian communities.

Chechens are not Europid/White/whatever semantics or synonyms you covet to describe them as.
I: "If someone is half Chechen from father and half East Indian from mother are biracial? what race and ethnicity are they considered?"
R: To make it less strenuous or convoluted for you to comprehend, I'll refer to this anonymous "individual's" ethnic taxonomic category as a Nakh-Indian (which again might beget one to further expound/elaborate upon possible Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, or Austroasiatic heritage).
Or you could jump on the callow social-constructionist, internationalist, "egalitarian" bandwagon and pontificate "HUMAN" while caressing arbitrary strangers who would in the pragmatic world with actual segregationist-distinguishable lines, respond non-"amicably".
These are the same cretins who advocate such demographic-genocidal policies as euphemistically put "Multiculturalism" or "Racial Pluralism"-Imposed diversification of previously complacent/stable homologous societies into tumultuous Balkanized hodgepudges.
