Welcome to the forum, athiktos:

1.) If I improve my antenna positioning outside, given the data, would I still be in a location that would require an amplifier?
yes
Are you using a preamp now?

2.) Would I be able to use antennas direct VHF Kit to pick up channel 13 (NBC) or is it likely out of reach?
The VHF kit might not have enough gain for 13. You might have to combine the DB4e with an MCM 30-2475 or 30-2476 using a UVSJ.

3.) What would be the best way to connect the two separate DB4e antennas?
Combining two UHF antennas aimed in different directions with a splitter in reverse, often doesn't work; you just have to try it. If it doesn't work, you need to keep the two antennas separate and use an A/B switch.

An alternative would be to connect the main antenna to the TV antenna input and connect the second antenna to a separate tuner with its output connected to the aux input of the TV.
