Answer 1

You should consider using a proxy on your server. There is a really good tutorial at apache.org, using an Apache Web Server.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/proxy-howto.html
This enables you to connect to your server via port 80, which is not printed in the url bar of your browser.

Answer 2

It can be done using IP tables in linux with redirecting requests from from one port to other, please follow the below syntax to achieve.
Syntax
The syntax is as follows to redirect tcp $srcPortNumber port to $dstPortNumber:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport $srcPortNumber -j REDIRECT --to-port $dstPortNumber
The syntax is as follows to redirect udp $srcPortNumber port to $dstPortNumber:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport $srcPortNumber -j REDIRECT --to-port $dstPortNumber
Replace eth0 with your actual interface name. The following syntax match for source and destination ips:
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src $SRC_IP_MASK --dst $DST_IP -p tcp --dport $portNumber -j REDIRECT --to-ports $rediectPort
