Muharrem, many of your questions can be potentially answered from these two papers: https://authors.library.caltech.edu/94439/1/32-1_arculus.pdf and https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01661.1

Back arc basin lavas are basaltic and similar to the magma from mid ocean ridges, except that the magma from back arc basins is about four times as rich in magmatic water, which is typically 1.5 percent by weight of the rock.
