Where do I measure the 34" distance from on each antenna? The balun? Or elsewhere?

Also, what do I use for a horizontal boom?

Yes, you can. I have that same antenna and others and that is how I did it. Run the pre amp before the splitter and that way both TV's can gain the benefit of the stronger signal.
