There is Internet filtering in our network.
1. Which ports and protocols do I need to open to broadcast?
2. Which external site is being broadcast to (which address should be accessed)?
 
depends
different stream providers use different protocols and ports.

Your best bet is to look into the stream providers (CDN / content delivery networks) documentation (ex YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc)

OBS Studio is a locally run application that can locally record, as well as send stream content to many different CDNs, so there isn't a Easy Button answer to your question
 
TCP ports 1935 (RTMP) and 443 (RTMPS, HLS) outbound cover 99% of use cases. No ports need to be opened inbound.
