The coax does go through a splitter/ grounding block. Should the FM trap go between the antenna and the splitter/ grounding block or closer to the receiver?

It doesn't matter when you are not using a preamp. The attenuator and the FM filter can go any place convenient between the antenna and the TV.

I've seen a piece of screen used as a reflector for the home made antennas, should it be connected to the shielding or insulated from everything.

It does not need to be connected and can be mounted on wood. In the attic you could even use aluminum foil on cardboard.

If I give up on the coat hanger antenna which one would give best results, the C2V-CJM or the ANT751?

Either one is suitable for the attic, but the C2V would be safer and more attractive for downstairs.
