We told her we'd back her whatever.
1/"'d" = would (past form of "will")
Is it right? Yes (would)
2/Back is a verb. It probably means... "support" (either morally or financially)
3/ Whatever probably means... "no matter what", but could also mean "whatever amount of money (is needed)" |
With no further context, that's the best I can do.

Many thanks, teacher.
Could you explain me what does "no matter what" mean?
It means in any way, at any conditions, we will support her?

Yes, that's basically right.
"No matter what (happens)" means "it doesn't matter what happens or what the situation is. Anything that happens will be accepted."
