Hello and welcome!
Yes, it looks like you have a clean shot to the big antenna farm in Philadelphia (compass heading 298 degrees). For VHF channels, it's really best to use an appropriate antenna. I don't like relying on marginal VHF performance from a UHF-only antenna.
A good full-band antenna for the job would be the Winegard HD7080P or HD7082P on your roof. It should provide enough signal strength for you to split to multiple TVs without the need for amplification.
If you aim the antenna at compass heading 336 degrees, you can get the more distant antenna farm (north-west Philadelphia) and the downtown antenna farm simultaneously. The closer transmitters are strong enough to come through the antenna even though they are a little off-aim, so it's best to aim the antenna at the more distant weaker stations.
Yes, full-band antennas that can handle low-VHF channels (2-6) can also deliver FM signals. The FM frequencies (88-108 MHz) are just above channel 6 (82-88 MHz), and should pass through the antenna easily.
