The sway control does not know or care whether your rig is going forward or backward.
Most sway controls do have less range of motion than the trailer ball to coupler connection. If you jacknife the rig while reversing it's possible to damage the SC by over extension or compression.
Back up all you want to, just don't make any excessively tight turns in reverse without removing it.
This is spot on. No need to disconnect unless you are going to turn sharply beyond the compression limit of the sway bar. I have never removed, or damaged a sway bar, while reversing.
