1. Correct, if your "local" antenna is connected to the neutral side of the AC line through the blocking capacitor (35) inside the set to block AC from the antenna circuit, it will not be very effective. It would need to be connected to the hot side of the line through the set's built-in blocking capacitor (35).

2. Not necessarily. Even if your house wiring was done properly and is properly grounded, a separate earth ground is better than depending on the AC line ground.
