Is it possible for me to flash a 2.2.2 rom when i am on 2.3.3 ? is that bad at all???? and can i restore back up??
Don't worry. It won't ruin anything. As long as you have Clockwork Recovery, you should be fine. Be sure to NANDROID first though!

I have a G2x with the stock 2.3 rom installed. I would like to root the phone but maintain my app data. I can't use titanium backup because I don't have root. I tried installed the rooted stock 2.3 rom but lost all app data.
Any suggestions?
If all you're doing is rooting you shouldn't lose any data. You only lose data when actually flashing a ROM, not by rooting your current one.

I knew about the zip, but will superoneclick still not work on the g2x? I know it used to not work with gb, but since they updated it I know it can do some phones on gb.
I rooted a friends sgs2 stock 2.3.5 using superoneclick.

Use the nvflash method and back everything up using clokwordmod's backup option. No root required. You can also save your apps using something like App Backup and Restore from the Android Market:

Is a restored nandroid Backup slower thank a fresh installed Rom?
Thanks is advance.

Well that depends on what backup and what rom you're flashing.
After I flashed the unlocked or insecure downloader. I tried to make a nandroid backup and it says that it failed to back up the boot image. Help?

Which recovery are you using? What options did you check before backup?
Im quite new to android, and would like to ask a question.
If I flash a ROM, and then recover from the backup I created earlier on the Stock, will I get the Stock ROM again? Or do I have to download it and flash again?

yes
when you recover you go back to the point of backup so yes
