* Your background (or class feature) can give you specific skill as trained.
* Your class says you get x+Int skills (druids get 5+Int).
* Are the class skills in addition to the background skills?
* And also, can you use the x+Int skills to advance skills received as trained from a previous source?

Background Skills typically give you a Skill Feat and Lore skill (which qualifies as a signature skill). The problem is, the Skill feat usually is for a skill other than the lore skill.

The Lore skill you get from your background is in addition to the number of skills that you get from your class.

For example:

A Fighter with an INT of 12 gets a total of 5 skills (3 class + 1 INT MOD + Background Lore) of which a possible 4 count as Signature skills.

Yes and No, respectively.

When you choose your character’s class, you also select a number of skills equal to this number; your character gains the trained proficiency rank in those skills.
