What size hose is needed to connect the backhoe power and return ports on a 1025r to a rear valve? Can it be sized down to 3/8", or maybe even 1/4"?

No smaller than 3/8 for PB lines.

Would 1/2" be the wiser choice? I'll be adding a single spool valve for a hydraulic top link.

Your are only flowing ~4 GPM, 3/8" is fine.

So, I'm thinking 3/8 for PG and 1/4 for the work lines to the hydraulic top link should work well.

Yes, absolutely.
