In order to keep the browser's window open you should try running Protractor in debug mode:

$  debug 

Then in your spec file add this line where you want the execution to stop:

browser.debugger();

In the Protractor debugger console, you can step over the stops by typing c or cont.

Now, in order to get the console content you can check how to do it in Protractor FAQ: https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/faq.md#how-can-i-get-hold-of-the-browsers-console

Something like:

browser.manage().logs().get('browser').then(function(browserLog) {
  console.log('log: ' + require('util').inspect(browserLog));
})
