Establishing a Foothold
Getting dumped back in the SW instance is indeed buggy/weird.
You’re still in the instanced version of Silverwastes. Try relogging to get out of it. Doing so should allow you to use the portal (after you make your way over there in the actual map).
Devs stated at launch that the prelude must be completed as an instance-owner to get credit.
You can help others, but only get credit for completing it as the one who starts the instance.
Good luck.

I have relogged to character screen, I have exited the game, I have uninstalled (cleared cache too) and reinstalled the game. The issue still remains.

If it is indeed true that you cannot party with others for “prelude content” then that information has not been stated inside the game at any point. As it stands, it prevents me from accessing the appropriate content I have paid for.
Here is the announcement about ‘partying in the Prologue’ (see first paragraph in particular):
Good luck.
