The files I want to serve are the ones in the DocumentRoot I currently have for
my vhost configuration
(E:\programming\visual_studio_2017\Projects\currency_converter\Release). Do I
need to specify as Apache's document root? The files in this directory are:
\scripts
scripts.js
\styles
styles.css
index.html
currency_converter.exe
currency_converter.iobj
currency_converter.ipdb
currency_converter.pdb

You can define a IP vhost too if you like. It doesn't matter.
And yes, read the official documentation about vhosts, as linked before.

And will free subdomain work for this when I go ahead and try to use a DNS to
reach my server after I've gotten this to work? Just want to ask this first,
just in case.
I can read about how to define a front-facing vhost in the examples and
documentation, right?

In a nutshell, you need to:
1) Define a front-facing vhost. You can use DNS and name-based vhosts to reach
it
2) Decide what URI path you want to proxy in that vhost
3) If you proxy / (i.e. every request), then you don't need a DocumentRoot in
that vhost. Otherwise, you need one
4) You don't need to use DNS to specify the target of your backend server.
ProxyPass / http://IP_HERE:PORT/ is perfectly fine.
5) I actually recommend that you do not use DNS to reach the proxied server,
initially. Keep things simple first.

Let me just say again, first, that I have a subdomain name I want to use for my
app.
Okay. Anyway, when I tried to get to my app just now after starting the Apache
httpd as a service, I got an error page in Edge saying that it can't reach the
page. I'd like to show you my httpd configuration file again to make sure if I
have the reverse proxy configuration done correctly.
I want to know the IP address so I can use it in my hosts file, since you said
I can add an entry to the hosts file mapping that IP address to a given name
domain name (or subdomain name in my case). Though I'm not sure if doing it
like that would make the app publicly available from anywhere.
What happens if I set up an IP-based virtual host instead? And how easy or
hard would it be to map a domain or subdomain name to that IP address?
Another question: the current file path I have for my virtual host DocumentRoot
setting is the one my app's files are in. Should I set it to the htdocs folder
instead (if so, how do I tell it that it what files it has to serve behind a
reverse proxy?)?

The IP httpd will use to proxy to your backend isn't typically relevant, unless
you want to apply filtering or tracking of some sort.
Can you start over and tell us what problem you're trying to solve, again?

But I still think I should know how to find the IP address used by the Apache
reverse proxy server. Just in case.

Osman,
Starting another thread to ask the same question is a bit ill-advised. I would
still recommend that you get up to speed on networking and DNS basics, first.
Next, you should read the following docs:
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/ExampleVhosts
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/examples.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mpm_common.html#listen
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/name-based.html

Would it be possible to use that IP address with a subdomain name on a virtual
host configuration? I want to use the free subdomain I got from
http://www.subdomain.net.
Subdomain.net - the largest free subdomain network<http://www.subdomain.net/>
Subdomain.net offers you a free subdomain for your website.
