If the output of a diaphragm pump is impeded in any way, or meant to be at higher pressure than the input of the diaphragm pump, will it work, or will it stall out and fail to pump?
In addition to this, are there reversible diaphragm pumps?

Yes, a diaphragm pump is able to pump against a pressure gradient. Typically, positive displacement pumps are able to generate a higher pressure difference, but at a lower flow rate than other technologies, such as centrifugal pumps.
There are not reversible diaphragm pumps, since they rely on one-way-valves for their intrinsic operation.
