How hard it is to replace the backend while keeping the experience the same?

Depends on how the code was written, it can vary between "a few days of work" and "it's easier to write a new one"

Depends on how the app is written, really. If it's written using good abstractions and adhering to so-called SOLID, it should be fairly easy.
