You'll have to have separate i386 and amd64 chroots. Typically though,
i386 images are used for both.

Yep, you'll need to install them in the chroot. You could then run them
by doing "ltsp-localapps appname" to run it locally. You can also
specify which applications you want to run locally in lts.conf, and the
user menus will then be modified to run those programs with ltsp-localapps.
