Quick hitters:
1) Not surprised you lose channels with a splitter - Your net noise margin on those is near zero
2) Keep the 18dB amplifier with the MANT.
3) Use the USVJ as close as practical to the antennas.
4) If you want to split, consider something like a CM-3414 distribution amplifier.
So, you have parallel paths from the dipole and from the MANT plus its amp to the USVJ, then a single cable to the distribution amp, then to the TVs.
5) Yes, you would be abandoning the old UHF antenna this way.
6) I have no recommendations based on experience for ATSC receivers (converter boxes).
