Yes

Yes, you would most likely find it on the tail shaft housing on your transmition. That is towards the rear of the transmition near where the drive shaft enters the transmition. The sensor will have a 3 wire conector on it. It does not matter if it is a manual or automatic.

Is it legal to tow dolly a car backwards?

yes you can dolly a car backwards but you should follow these guides. 1) The car has a steering lock and it is engaged. 2) There is no one in the vehicle whilst being towed. 3) You have a towing light bar so that people can tell the vehicle is going backwards. 4) The handbrake is on if it is a manual vehicle. 5) The drive selector is in "N" for automatic vehicles This should be a good rule of thumb no matter what type of vehicle you are towing.

It possible for a automatic car to roll backwards on a flat surface while in drive?

It is possible, as there may be some play allowed between the time the vehicle is put into drive and the time the transmission actually engaged. For the most part, a vehicle in drive should not roll unless being propelled forward by the motor and drivetrain. What you describe is not impossible, but highly unlikely.
