Yes.

Yes.
I would like to mention that even "unpure" Blends can work with the
metapackages builded in a Pure Blend: If the a package is not part
of official Debian the mentioned dependencies are added as Suggests
and afterwards installed via

  apt-get -o APT::Install-Suggests=true install foo

if backports is included in sources.list.  I would consider this as
a reasonable way to make use of backports in a (not so pure) Blends
concept.  (If only somebody would fix #473089 that the method above
becomes more visible ...)

ROFL!
However, in how far is using backports insane for a poject which depends
from a certain piece / version of software?

Kind regards
