So just a quick questio about the artificers ability to replicate objects with infusions, does it replicate anything inside of a bag u may replicate? ie if a artificer replicated a bag of holding holding 10 gp, would the replicated bag have 10gp in it as well?
The "replicate magic item" infusions aren't intended to duplicate a particular magical item, rather they are intended to replicate the effects of a magical item. So the bag of holding one will allow you to turn a normal bag into a bag of holding. It will not allow you to take a bag of holding and make a copy of it.
It's logical that you'd need, say, a bag to convert in order to make a bag of holding, and possibly possess or at least to have seen one to replicate according to the flavour text. However, to my memory, it doesn't mention any such requirements. Are there any requirements to being able to replicate magic items beyond choosing the level requirement, choosing the magic item and having g an infusion available?

Think of it like learning a spell when you level up. Although classes like Wizards have the ability to learn spells outside of their level up, they don't need to have an in-story explanation for how they're learning a new spell at a level up.

The ability says "See the item’s description in the Dungeon Master’s Guide for more information about it, including the type of object required for its making." So to replicate a bag of holding you will need a bag, which you infuse to become a bag of holding.
I made a Sack of Holding myself. DDB itself doesn't require an item to infuse in order to do Replicate Magic Item (probably because they'd need to add a bunch more mundane items (which I personally would like, but I can wait if it'd be coming with the big General System Update later on.))

I think technically you need a bag to create this infusion, but I would allow an Artificer to use the main section of a backpack for a bag of holding even though it wouldn't became a Hewards handy haversack just a bag of holding

I certainly wouldn't do that in my game; too much room for shenanigans.

I have a question:

Nope. At least not according to RAW.
