RE. #1: If you can make this work without an amplifier, great, you've saved a few $. Yes, locate the amp close to the antenna. That feeds the amp the best quality signal and places it where it can overcome the loss in cable and splitting. At the TV is the least productive place for any amplifier.
Re. #2: Please, don't connect an antenna to any part of the cable TV system. You'll radiate signals that will interfere with police, fire, aviation and other licensed radio services. If you have to run new coax, so be it.
