The thin 'leaf' like antenna lacks VHF support. Consider the Terk HDTVi (not HDTVa).

Use a passive splitter with only enough output ports the serve the planned number if tuner inputs. The HDHomeRun has great signal quality metering, you'll be able to tell if any amplifier is needed. If you prove the need for an amplifier, I'd suggest the Channel Master CM-3410 which can be powered remotely and therefor can be mounted close to the antenna (provided the amplifier is protected from the weather). The best place for an amplifier is close to the signal source (the antenna) where it can help overcome all of the cable and splitter losses on the output side of the amplifier.
