To explain all the things you asked, you should know that Solr has multiple cores ("search" used by discovery, "statistics" and "oai"). These work completely independently and all of them are started when the Solr server is started. That's why there's a separate Solr URL configured for discovery, statistics and oai - each points to a different core. I checked the codebase and solr-statistics.server is used only by the Solr client in DSpace. That means it doesn't control where the Solr server listens, the Solr server is simply always started on localhost, regardless of value of this property. If you change the property to point elsewhere, the local core _should_ simply be unused (can you confirm that by querying it for number of documents? It's the "*:*" query and the numFound attribute in response.).
That said, I can't think of the reason why it doesn't work.
