Please try it.

backbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack();
        }
    }
});

Answer 2

You can initiate another loading if you override onPageFinished method of WebViewClient or if you modify shouldOverrideUrlLoading.
