Does Defiance remove Knock Back?

No. Knock Back is not on Defiance's list. That list holds Stun, Knockdown, Airborne, Grab, Frost and Fear. Knockdown sounds alike, but it is a different effect from Knock Back.
Do repeated Knock Backs build up resist the way Stuns do?

No. Every class's resist passive builds Status Effect Resist only from certain hits. They must land while you are Stunned, Knocked Down, Airborne, Frozen or Feared. Knock Back is not one of those. So a string of Knock Backs on its own builds no stacks.
