Which comes first: CD/Trunk-based development or microservices?
Consensus is you want CI/CD first and anyway, independent of your application's language, design or architecture. Whether you deliver trunk-based or use feature branching is also independent of CI/CD.

Whats the difference between staging and UAT environments?
The difference is the data.
A UAT environment is set up for "user acceptance" of new functionality. In order to test that functionality, QA or stakeholders may set up user profiles a particular way ...

Of course it can. And it should be done. CI/CD is not "instead" of it, but rather "in addition" to it.

How to rollback rejected features by QA in a Continuous Delivery scenario?
When a code change A is rejected, don't think necessarily in terms of "rollback feature A by undoing the merge using SCCS". Think in terms of "adding a new change to the code which fixes the defects ...

Why the devops pipeline reads "Code, Build, Integrate, Test"..why build is second?
I write some code, then I build it (compile it) then I run the tests. This happens on my local machine. That's the "code & build" phase in that diagram.
Then I check my code in to a central ...

The exact concept that is needed here is fault tolerance. You need a pipeline that is resilient to failure. This is an open-ended engineering problem, of course.

In the way of working you describe, there is very little advantage to using branches. With all the merging back and forth, you might as well be working directly on Trunk, except in the (hopefully rare)...
