Some remarks.  You define a burst on your 1:1 class.  You don't need this.  
And make sure that the sum of the rate of child classes = rate of parent 
class.  Also, limit all bandwidth too less then your link bandwidth so YOU 
are the botleneck
Using different prio's for you htb classes can be tricky.  Remove the prio 
parameters untill you understand what the different prio's does.

Yes.
