Chamberlain was anything but pro-German, he just wanted to prevent war at all costs. He thought that Hitler would actually keep to his word.
It's not like he was thrilled about the treaty either, when he arrived at the airport and saw the masses, he thought they were there to kill him because they didn't like the treaty. Instead people were overjoyed with it. Of course he gave a speach that sounded like this was a great achievement that would help keep the peace, what did you expect him to do, say that this would solve nothing and that things would get far worse very soon?
He was a politician, and politicians always try to make themselves look good, they want to get reelected after all. The people were completely against a war, even the idea was simply unacceptable. That's why Chamberlain agreed to throw the Czechs under the bus. People don't have a lot of interest in getting their own killed just to help someone they have hardly any connection to. In addition to that, Hitler did have a point when he pointed out that all the talk about self-determination for everyone is hypocritical if you deny to give it to some of the people.
Was this a good move, no, but it certainly didn't happen because Chamberlain loved Germany so much.
The Kingdom of Bohemia became part of the HRE in 1212, though it had been connected to it far earlier. The title of King of Bohemia was granted by the Kaiser in 1085.
