Can you simply use a signal backup to move to Molly ? And can you go easily back to Signal, if required in the future ?

As long as the Molly version is greater than or equal to the Signal version, it will work. Molly updates usually trail behind signal updates, so you'll have to either time it right or pause updates on you Signal app.

I want to know this, too. I have signal now, but don't mind moving over if I simply didn't lose anything.

you create a backup on signal and then restore from backup in molly. Nothing's lost.
