H3N 37 Degrees, can it work well if used on the forehand? and what blade fits it.
Sure it can work. But with Terms &Conditions:

Being soft, if you are a club level player and play close to table, it is not an issue. In fact it can be quite an enjoyable control rubber.

However, at higher level where you are forced to play further away from table, by more powerful hitter, than its weakness becomes more apparent. Your return will be weak and may not cross the net.

Personally I have played H3 soft on FH during stroking FH to FH ( close to table ) and it is usable.

During play wise, I realise the weakness becomes apparent. I use it on Stiga All-round Classic as BH.

I suppose if you use it on stiffer blade like Stiga Clipper ( 7 ply all wood ) the result may be better, however I have no first hand experience with it.

Compared to Loki, which one is better in terms of rotation?

Not a great difference BUT I keep going back to H3 because it is easier to rotate.
I assume with rotate you mean doing a topspin flick against a incoming under-spin shot ??

I'm still a little doubtful, can it be used with backhand flick,

Yes, it can. No need to worry. For example, I prefer H37 on backhand to H39 or harder. So many options... Anyways, I think your choice is good, many people use it.

I am not a literalist, therefore I use body approximation technique. If one forearm length, it is considered close to table. If two to four steps away, it is mid-table distance and anything further it is faraway distance.

I never play faraway because my club do not have the privilege of such big space and as a result of this, I rarely have the opportunity to play faraway nor know from first hand experience what it is like to play faraway from the table.

I suppose it can, I mean Ma Long uses NeoH3 37 degree for his backhand and we have seen him do BH flicks.

However, BH flick is not my forte hence I cannot give you my input. I usually push or block defensively to set-up for my FH attack.

Sergey Scoobie Doo Tsos Jagaur Operator says you all need to harden the heck up. 37 too soft. Harden the XXXX up. Harden up now. He approves of this message, unless he registers for TTD and says otherwise.
