Yea!

The whole time I assumed you had all your inputs hooked to the TV and were just trying to get audio from the TV over to the receiver via the optical output.

Based on what you provided, the Dolby 5.1 surround sound should work. You have the required speakers and the receiver is seeing the signal as Dolby D. The only thing you can try on the ATV is to change the surround sound mode setting from Auto to Dolby. That is how mine is set and it works perfectly.
Again this mode requires the source be Dolby Digital and the speakers will not all output the same sound or even a sound in certain parts say of a movie.

On the Airplay issue, not sure what symptoms "doesn't work" entails. Does any app work besides the 2 you mention? Can you simply mirror your screen?
In any case here are the basics:
Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Get help with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
