Every four levels, you get a proficiency.
You can backstab with short sword. I equip my thieves with short swords in BG1, although there are some decent daggers, too

Any, I repeat, ANY melee weapon that a true-classed Thief can use, is a valid Backstab weapon.
Daggers, yes. Short Swords, yes. Long Swords, yes. Clubs, Quarterstaves, yes. Scimitars--no in BG1, yes in BG2.

yep - i'd go as far as to say that in BG1 longswords are the best backstab weapon (powerwise) - go for it
