Answer 1

Depends on what platform you wish to develop for. Mobile app? Web app? Desktop? They all can share the same backend though.

Answer 2

You need to learn server script, eg. Node.js, PHP.
Server script need to connect to a database, eg. MySql, MingoDb.

For MySql, you need to know Sql query commands.
For NoSql like Mongodb, you need to know Json and Api.

You also need to learn database authentication to safeguard your database.
