If I restore to a backup that contains an app that has been removed from the app store, will I lose it or will it be there?
 
It should still be there. Some apps you can even redownload them using the Purchased screen on your iDevice or iTunes.
 
Sometimes, I forget if it was that the app was removed by Apple or the creator it can still be redownloaded. One of the removal procedures doesn't allow it to be redownloaded.
 
If the app is stored on a computer then I know you can transfer it back onto the device if the app has been removed but not sure about how it works with iCloud sorry.
