Is the X-37b's orbit known? I dimly recall articles about observers catching glimpses of it places away from its predicted trajectory. Could it maybe be placing/observing/servicing satellites? Why's it a shuttle-style design? I feel like it's not too outlandish to suspect that some military satellites might have a way to hide themselves from instruments, as well.

Known to the Russians and Chinese? Almost certainly. The X-37B is a shuttle-like design because it was designed for NASA to be a crew escape vehicle for the ISS. The Air Force only took over the project when NASA cancelled it.
