1) Android Emulator (part of Android Studio) can emulate almost anything, so it is not limited to the latest version of Android.

It installs fine after you click the nag screen.*
2) The commands do work just the same - if you use backup adb automatically knows where to backup from. It simply needs the package name. Since by default in Android Emulator the adb shell has root access, you don't need to go the backup route, but simply download the key. (On a real device the adb shell does not have root access, including in out of box Bluestacks).
*It doesn't need Nougat, and it is very picky what processor it emulates. The mentioned Kindle 4.16 from first post does not like any x86 VMs, so the much slower (on my computer) arm is needed. Worked great with Marshmellow with Google for arm (arm64 and x86 didn't work).
