I have no idea what the remote-service template is or does. From the
name, it could be several different things and may not be what you're
looking for. Please post it (and it's command{} definition) if you
don't understand what it does.

Yes, each nagios instance must have matching host{} and service{}
definitions, at least host_name and service description should match.
Other parameters may be different. These must match so that when the
central nagios receives a check result from a remote machine, it knows
what host and service to apply it to.

It's pretty detailed and would be tedious to repeat.
Be specific about what isn't clear in that documentation.
