Also whatever antenna I get I do not want it to be seen from the street.

If that forces you to aim through trees or structures (including your roof) you may not be able to achieve the best results.

...how do I know if the sub channel is broadcasting in 1080i or 720p[?]

TV Fool concentrates on reception of the 'real channel' and only offered limited virtual channel data as a helpful cross reference. Selection of the appropriate antenna is based on the 'real channel' used to broadcast the OTA signal, the virtual channel is not relevant to the antenna.
For more detailed information about the virtual channel(s) and network affiliation(s) of a given station, rabbitears.info is quite helpful. For your area, here's a link:

...do I need an amplifiers?

The gain of the HD1200 is likely to be more than enough to make an amplifier unnecessary. But if you are going to connect many TVs, maybe. I'd suggest you make a test install (avoid drilling any new holes until you are sure you have a suitable location for the antenna) of the antenna with no amplifier... Run this test:
