Unless you just absolutely need to get rid of the "/webapp" portion of the URI, it would be much simpler to keep it. Here's a slight modification to the first iRule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [TCP::local_port] equals "8052" } {
        if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
            HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/webapp"
        } else {
            HTTP::header replace Host "currenturl.olddomain.local"
        }
    }
}

This simply changes the Host header and redirects to /webapp if the request URI is blank.
