Since I have never JB before, I was wondering can you still buy apps through the apple store if the device is jailbroken? Will the applestore icon no longer work? Also, can I backup my JB ipad like I would normally by plugging it into my usb and letting itunes back it up? Thanks.

Yes.
It still works.
Yes you can.
 
Sorry to thread jack, but do I need to download some Cydia app so that I can sync my JB iPad 2 with iTunes without losing any non-Apple apps I've downloaded?

No, you can do absolutely everything you can do while non-jailbroken except for updating to a newer iOS (4.3.4, for example) or walking into an Apple Store for service. And you can do those things if you restore to a non-jailbroken state first.
