Re: Backstab - I do know that Backstab with larger weapons via the Assassin Talent was possible in earlier versions, so it should still be working unless a patch broke it. I've found that the proper positioning of Backstab can be a bit finicky - it's not always clear where you have to stand to be considered in position for a backstab.
I'm guessing you don't get a tool-tip change indicating you'll do a backstab then? Might be a nice GUI idea.

You can talk to Tom's sister in the town hall and get a quest to find him.
Yes, I'm aware you can get that quest - however, learning from >5 guy outside the tavern< that he sent Tom off to the cave doesn't update it - nor does finding Tom seemingly finish the quest (??). Edit - is Tom already dead? Is he one of the injured ones? The quest is reported as finished, but I don't think (?) there's an option to tell the poor woman about it to bring it to a narrative conclusion. i.e. It simply ends in the cavern, not in the Library where you'd assume it would. [My save isn't at the point to test this atm, won't have time before next patch to rush it]
Suggestion - might be an idea to have an interim Journal update to this quest on interrogating >5 guy outside the tavern< whether or not you decide to join the 5. i.e. flesh the quest available a little. e.g. "Journal Entry: We have learnt that Tom has gone off on some fool's errand at the behest of the '(in)famous five', we should investigate further..."
