Based on the weak signal levels at your location, this would not be my choice of antenna type. JC has suggested an appropriate deep fringe antenna, another option (similar in performance) would be the Winegard HD8200U.
JC has also correctly pointed out the need to mount your antenna as high as safety and budget allow.
I have checked for FM station interference, there does not appear to be much of any nearby FM signals, certainly none that would pose an overload risk.
Let me assure you... no, you do not have too much gain, an attenuator will reduce an already weak signal. You need to receive more signal not less. That starts with the correct antenna installed at an elevation where signal exists. Then amplify the signal enough to overcome the losses and noise in your cabling and TV tuner.
