I play a lot worse on a real board OTB how do I fix this (like 900 performance rating worse)

Just play chess and not let your nerves get in the way. You should try not to be too distracted during the game either and just be fully in the zone.

How to achieve 2000 rating on chess.com? (I'm very close to 1600 right now).

A lot of puzzles and always asking for what your opponent is threatening. Try to play moves only when they fit your plan and also study some opening ideas rather than just memorizing moves. It also helps to be solid at endgames so you can win some games late or draw some slightly worse positions.

Let's say your opponent starts with an unusual opening or an unusual line that you've never practiced or seen before. What's the best way to go about it?

how does the knight move

That's a good question. It generally moves. like an L, and sometimes in blitz games, it can be very unpredictable.

So you are saying @Rodgy is an exception? I'm also around 2k uscf and 2300 blitz. I know people that are 2100 on chess.com and around 1700 over the board.
