Of course you can extract just the back faces and then extrude the thickness after conforming those faces to the background object.

Sure, I'll take a look into it. I'm crazy busy with assignments and exams at the moment, so it'll take some time to get a proof of concept out there.ND I keep hoping you will take the membrane node and make us all a nice easy script to get a real background constraint tool! You'd be my hero!
