Until here, everything you do is perfectly fine. 

If you use apache in front of tomcat, then you would have to add some mod_rewrite and some java connector stuff there, so that www.testsite.com will actually be forwarded to www.testsite.com:8081/opencms/opencms. 

OR, you could live without Mod_reqwrite, configure your java connector, make your opencms webapplication into the ROOT application and edit the web.xml of opencms to change the servlet mapping. This is how I have done it.

OR, if you can live with /opencms/opencms/ <nd want to use apache in front then you can use only plain java connector, without caring about the URL Prefixes.

The other questions I can't answer, because I have never worked with templateOne
