Would it be possible to have a API for another database with its own topics, posts, search and integrate that into Discourse so I can use Discourse as a front end and that as an backend?

No. Think about import your data.

Is it possible to import 500gb+? Or is there a size limit

É possível importar mais de 500 GB? Ou existe um limite de tamanho?
