I agree, and this was my first thought too when I read "node" and "MVC".

Build a node-based REST API and let clients talk to it, regardless of the MVC framework.

Angular, Ember and Backbone support this pattern out of the box, as do probably most other frameworks.

I too agree with this thought.

However along with REST-services, the backend Node.js server has to also serve pages and do routing for navigation between pages. Any library you would recommend for that?

The most common solution is ExpressJS. However there are a lot of other HTTP server frameworks; this is a link I found by just Googling "node js http server framework" :)
