Answer 1

Which backend do you prefer to link your application to?

Usually REST/HTTP API/RPC hide the backend implementation nuances. So it doesn't matter, as long as the apishka is comfortable.
php, symfony2, postgresql. In any case, the SPA developer should be the last to worry.
never use mongodb as your main repository. Any relational base on simple tasks (and nosql is not needed on simple tasks) will be simpler and more efficient. I say this based on my bitter experience. Store denormalized data aggregations in mongodb to speed up relational fetches. that is, mongodb must have either simple independent data (logs for example) or read-only data.
