I cleared the beta (killed the Skeleton King) twice with my Demon Hunter, and didn't get either of these achievements.
I've searched in the open map and cathedral. Is it in a crypt?
Where can I go to get these events?

THERE ARE NO SET PLACEMENTS FOR ANY RESPLENDENT CHESTS
Yes, they are generally at the end of a minidungeon, and yes, there are some along the maps generated in the game, but they are randomly placed, and are not always in the same area. Even in the minidungeons(if there is one, since sometimes there are none) they aren't in the same generated area of the map.
As for hunting for these chests for loot, it is not worth it anymore, as they decided to make Magic Find no longer affect the loot from chests, so better gear dropping is not as likely anymore.
If good armor is what you are looking for, you can find really nice gear for really cheap if you just get gear with 90% of the stats for 2k-20k, instead of the top stats for upwards of 1-25mil.

The Jar of Souls is in one of the two false (one-level) Defiled Crypts in the cemetery. At least one will have the "Jar of Souls" or "Matriarch's Bones" Event quest (though it's impossible to predict which). A handy trick: leave the game if you have the wrong one, as the event could reset to the Jar instead.
You'll enter a room with a blue jar and enemies will attack you for a minute. Then it'll pop.
