OKay; I now have a jre1.8.0_251 folder showing under C:Program Files (x86) Java. I think I am now convinced that a 32-bit JRE is installed on my computer.
1. Does that mean that AOO will recognize it?

Not necessarily.

2. What additional steps should I do for AOO functionality?

Go to Tools | Options.. | OpenOffice | Java | Java options. "Use a Java runtime environment" needs to be ticked *and* and entry in the panel below (wait for it to be populated) needs to be explicitly selected.

3. Is there a test that I can/should do? I think AOO-Base relies on JRE; maybe I should attempt to run a Base template, since I do not have any Base files of my own doing, yet.

Easier than using Base:
o Open OpenOffice Help - using the button in the Standard toolbar or by pressing F1.
o Click the Find tab.
o Type something in the "Search term" box.
o Click Find.

If your JRE is working, you will see some results - or possibly a "No topics found" message. If a JRE is not selected, you will see an "Enable JRE" error message. (You can toggle it on there.)

I trust this helps.
