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.

Yes
Yes, It is possible
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
