1) I have never seen any meaningful gains with additional strength on an NPC.

2) may increase procs if you give your pet a procing weapon otherwise backstab is on a timer. The only thing that affects that timer is haste.

3) NPC's always have a base damage they hit for. Same thing applies to backstabs. The only time this is affected is if you give your pet a weapon whose damage is more than half of what they hit for (weapon damage x2 is what they'll hit for). This doesn't affect backstab or else people would be giving NPC's weighted axes + torch for duel wield.
