Answer 1

If you are opting node.js at ur server then I would suggest you to use Socket.io which is a better fit for chat apps onnode.io. it provides client support libraries for android aswell. have a look at this and this.

Answer 2

i recomended you to using xmpp, why, xmpp is minim resource fro mobile apps, i have created some apps using socket.io lib, but it need more than xmpp resource, for example in socket.io my apps need 100mb of ram, using xmpp, my app need 50mb of ram
