How about something like the following. (Note this isn't complete).
[Does someone know, which command gives you the chapter name and or number?]

\setupheadertexts
             [pagenumber][chapter]
             [pagenumber][section]
\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [header=empty]

Something like \setuplayout[footer=0pt,bottom=1in,textheight=fit]
(Somehow doesn't textheight=fit not really work.)

See above. I failed though to insert the number and a 'Chapter: '.
You could do something like [\pagenumber\hfill Chapter:
\WhichCommandGivesYouTheChapterName/Number?].

> If I wanted, how could I underline each header?
\setupheader[after=\hairline] ?
