On the string question, I'd copy it to temporary space, say _textShadow.

ld hl,_op2                    ;copy from _op2
ld de,_textShadow     ;to _textShadow
ld bc,(bytes in string not including terminator) ;x bytes
ldir                                ;copy
ld hl,_op1                    ;copy from _op1
ld bc,(bytes in second string including terminator)
ldir                                ;to _textShadow + length of last string

The result is _op1's string is appended to the end of _op2's and is stuck in
_textShadow
