Let's see.

Hm, this is not difficult. Many people did that already ;)

RealURl never appends any domains. It always returns relative URLs. This is a TYPO3 requirement. I think you either forgot config.baseURL, or set it incorrectly or have wrong config.absRefPrefix. Neither of these have anything to do with RealURL.

For three slashes. It means that you defined "archive" as post var but your tt_news is not making it. Most likely you have it disabled in tt_news configuration. Since you did not allow bypass, RealURL is forced (by you!) to put this variable into URL but with empty values.

condPrevValue is not an existing RealURL option.

<skip>

The rest of your configuration does not define "archive" at all. So you can't have it in URL. Look closer at your system, something is totally messed up there.
