I can only really talk from an English viewpoint, but with that in mind:
1) JavaFX is dead. It's also just a UI framework for Java, so having backend experience in it doesn't make any sense. If you want to do Java based stuff, then it's all backend these days, and almost all Spring based.
2) Probably not, at least not a well paid one. You may get yourself into a graduate program if you're lucky, but you'll probably find yourself being passed over for those who have a degree.
3) No idea about certifications, but realistically you'll need to be able to converse and write fluent English to work well on any team here. Your written English looks great in this post, but that's all I know :-) -
Due to the language it might be a bit easier to find something in UK. You might soon need a visa though. Personally, I would rather choose one of the others.
IMO you should be have at least B2 verbally and written to work in any technical field in English. According to this writing is fine. I don't think anyone cares about language certifications when you can speak fluently. You have to talk to them during the interview process anyway.
Just try to explain a technical concept in English. If that is not an issue at all, I wouldn't stress about the language too much. -
Sweden:
It is hard to find a job if you don't speak the language. Easier if your English is very good, and you're looking for a technical role which isn't customer facing. It's difficult, but not impossible, to get a job with no previous work experience in your field. But maybe you have some, or can polish your CV to look like you do :P Some companies also put a lot of emphasis on having a degree.
The above observations are in comparison with the UK market, I have in-depth experience of both.

Everything is going as planned
Hi guys, I got some questions for you:
I'm a 17 years old guy from south Italy with 5 years of programming experience, mainly with Java and Kotlin. Since finding a well paid job here is soooo hard (especially when it comes to IT), I will surely go to another country (England, Sweden, Denmark and Norway in my list) once I get my scientific high school diploma. Here are the questions:
1) I have very high skills on JavaFX, both front-end and back-end. Is JavaFX commonly used in companies? Or should I move to other technologies like Android?
2) Will my diploma (plus a good amount of open source projects) be enough to find a job?
3) What certified English level is commonly required in these countries?
