How Does Back Budding Work?

I was told to chop down most of my Azalea so it can back bud.

I was wondering:

1) How does back budding work? (as in, why do I have to cut the tree back hard and what purpose does this do?)

2) Can I leave long branches but remove all the leaves for back budding?

3) What seasons should I do this?

4) If I just transfered my azalea into a shallow training pot, should I do this or wait?

Thanks!
