Back Pain: Squats are a great exercise if done right. Try to have a trainer evaluate your technique to make sure you are doing them correctly to avoid back pain.

Yes stop: Listen to your body. Take a break. When your back feels better get a trainer to watch how you are doing the squats. It the pain persists go the doctor to check the spine

Weird question, you do squats to get a bigger butt but then stop, will your butt start to sag after a while? Or will it stay the same?
