Cold Zero makes custom backplates but they are plexi so it won't exactly aid in cooling or heat dissipation:

They aren't designed to install without the waterblock since some of the bolts go through the PCB and into the waterblock. If you are handy you could probably source the proper length screws and try it but I can't guarantee it.

Yes with some modding

if you have a EVGA card they make backplates for each specific card

That really depends if it's long enough the backplate form EKWB are fairly thick making it almost 5mm, so while in theory if everything lines up it should work with proper length screws and screw head type.
