Is there an app available that allows one to automatically backup photos and videos from a mobile device to the home network?

As far as I know, it is not possible. Access the fotos from your phone is possible via Synology Photos

Can I use 2-4TB SSD and use JBOD to get 8 TB storage?

I would say no. Using 2 4TB drives will only give you 4TB storage as one of the two drives is a mirror of the first one for fail-over. This is the purpose of NAS drive system. Synology website will explain the configurations in more detail. There are several excellent YouTube videos online to get more detailed information.

Is your ds223 nas compatible with seagate 8 tb ironwolf harddrives?

Yes, this is exactly what I have in my NAS DS223. 8GB seagate iron wolf. They work really well.

Can I use the HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB with the synology ds223?

Did not see it it in compatibility list. From WD only Red Plus series (which I do not recommend - check WDDA alert on Synology in the internet)
