Answer 1

Where is your css file served from? This usually isn't a problem as a common media structure such as:

media/
    images/
    css/
    js/

(or similar) allows for relative file paths for images, eg:

background: url('../images/foo.png');

If you're not prepared to change your media folder structure to accommodate relative file paths, you may have no alternative but to overwrite css declarations from within the template, using a secondary css file when offline:

{% if DEBUG %}
    
{% endif %}

Of course the first option is much tidier.
