Welcome to the forum, Traveller:

For number 1 above, I am thinking of a Winegard HD7694P. I plan on aiming it at 145* mag and hopefully I can receive PBS off the back of the antenna. I am an antenna rookie, so this is the piece I am most unsure of. Is this a good choice?
That sounds like a good plan to me. The signal loss from an attic location is difficult to predict. A metal roof, aluminum thermal barrier, aluminum siding, and stucco will block signals, as will trees and other buildings.

Try the 7694 in the attic using a temporary setup with one TV and its tuner. Move the antenna around in the attic to find the best location.

WTLJ and WGUV are so strong they would probably overload a preamp.
