You can backstab with any weapon a pure thief can use normally.

Shrug. Backstabbing with bows is pretty good, I suppose, but I prefer to backstab normally. A friend of mine got 140 damage once ona critical hit... Death... But yes, you can backstab with short bows.

I think, if you want to really annoying, daggers and shortswords should be the only weapons you can backstab with. Afterall, it is called backstab, not backhack...

A rogue can sneak attack with any weapon that she is proficient in, (it could be any weapon she can wield) of course, this is irrelevant information.
