can I develop/test an android app on a phone running calyxos or graphene, and expect the app to behave the same way on a normal android phone?


If you do not need any google services/apps then yes. Your apps will just run fine.


Yes, in fact, GrapheneOS will help by exposing memory corruption issues


Yes, it should (as much as you can expect apps to behave correctly between phones - there are still quirks in some more hardware dependant APIs). I don't think they actually do anything that would break their compatibility.
