  1. Yes
  2. Yes, It is possible
  3. react-router is for internal App routing. Where Express.js can only route to /index.html on main source.

Eg: myapp.com/reactapp -> done by Express, where index.html is on /reactapp myapp.com/myapp/new/view --> here /new/view is routed by react

1) Predefined functions like componentDidMount will totally work as well as the other lifecycle events in React.

2) Yes, it's possible, Redux is great for app-state management and preserving data to be used inside the application for each instance.

3) You should make use of both React-Router and Express. You can use React-Router to navigate on the front-end, navigating from page to page. For Express, it's especially useful for developing API routes for your backend if necessary.
