Answer 1

Basically you have a computer running a server somewhere in this word and you should make an application on client side to communicate with the server while client requests(get, post,patch, ...) server should have instructions from you on how to handle does requests that's that's heart of it for other technologies are just authentication and security codes like encryption and hashing time limited token and so on probably should work on server side first(backend) controlling requests with nice gui on client side should wrap it up

Answer 2

One of the most important technology for realtime chat apps is Websocket (like socket.io)

Answer 3

Yes, I means scaling of applications.... You coment about a messaging app... This kind of app grows un production when connected clienta increase and the architecture must be enought for support it.

Hi. Its a complex work... Scaling Will be a challange for you. But hoy can start with a simple architecture with: a database, a frontend(maybe web) and a backend that make communications.
Maybe you can start with a communication framework as RabbitMQ.
