So does that mean that the Jubilee and the DLR will both got to Stratford?

They both do already, though in the future the DLR will go to Stratford
twice.

While we're on the subject, can trains from Stratford on the new route
head west at Canning Town,

AIUI no - not without reversing at least. This will still require a
complicated junction south of Canning Town, replete with a flyover for
grade seperated movements.

This PDF illustrates the planned service pattern:

and can trains from the west head south at
Poplar?

No without reversing again. But trains from the west - from Bank/Tower
Gateway already head south directly from Westferry to West India Quay
and to anary Wharf and points south. See the DLR map (PDF):

DLR plans to remodel the North Quay Junction - that at the nexus of
Westferry, West India Quay and Poplar - adding a fly-under for services
travelling southeast-bound from Westferry to Canary Wharf, which would
miss West India Quay because of practical reasons. This would mean
there were less conflicting movements at North Quay Junction. Read more

This fly-under wouldn't change the fact that trains from the west
couldn't head south at Poplar - if you look on a map or visit on the
ground you'll see that Poplar station is too far to the east for this
to be possible.
