How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?
And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?

To add to step 4: after you cut the caulk try and slide a putty knife between the counter top and the wall to check for adhesive on the backside. If there is adhesive you can try and cut through it with the putty knife that way you don’t rip/peel the drywall as you’re pulling the counter out. The less damage to the dry wall the better.
As for the texturing it is called knock down texturing. It’s done with dry wall compound. Here is a YouTube video showing the patching steps video
Check YouTube for videos of vanity removal they will walk through all the steps above as well.
Thank you, that was my main concern.
