Questions about the app

The Android app is a native app you download and install. The web app is LocalCoinSwap installed from your browser, works on any device and updates itself. Trading, your wallet and your keys work the same in both.
Not yet. For now, download it from this page. Android may ask you to allow installs from your browser, because the file does not come from Google Play.
Download the latest APK from this page and install it over the app you have. Your account stays as it is. Only download it from this page: Android refuses an update that is not signed with the same key as the installed app.
One is coming soon. Until then, install the web app from this page and you get the same account, wallet and trades.
On desktop and in the Android browser, no. On iPhone, yes: iOS only delivers notifications to web apps added to the home screen. The Android app does not send trade alerts yet.
Trading needs a connection, so no.
Exactly where they were. Your private keys are only ever decrypted on your device, and installing changes nothing about that.
Like any other app: hold the icon and remove it on your phone, or use the app menu on desktop. Your account is untouched.

Take LocalCoinSwap with you
