The answer for (1) is "not applicable", and the answer for (2) is "not correct".

When you start Standalone, it will listen on a specific port using the
regular HTTP protocol. You can set this up in a reverse proxy
configuration, exactly like how you would setup Thin, Unicorn,
Mongrel, or whatever in a reverse proxy configuration. There is no
special "reverse proxy mode", it was and is already reverse proxyable
because it's HTTP.
