GWC is not a proxy for WMS, so it won't handle the other operations like
GetFeatureInfo etc... At least not on 2.0.x. I beleive on trunk Gabriel has
been working on gwc acting as a true proxy but i am not sure about how far
long that is.
As for your GetFeatureInfo request not working against geoserver directly my
guess would be the same origin policy. Anything other than an image must
come from the same server that is serving up your openlayers app. Where are
you are running your OL map from? So you either have to proxy for geoserver
on the same host/port you are accessing your html from, or run your OL from
localhost:8080 by putting it into the www directory inside of the geoserver
data directory.
