Welcome to the board.

Interchanging models can be done by relying on XMI export and import. In theory this should be working.

However experience shows that this has lots of caveats and some cleanup work will have to applied afterwards. This is often the result of some additional meta information or special assumptions made by the tools themselves.
For PowerDesigner I have tried this once with not very satisfactory results. I got lots of redundant objects and relations which made me drop the approach soon.
Note that I am not able to state which of the tools is to blame here. I simply list the final result.

What do you mean by "developing"? Of course you can "model" a web application with EA.

Have a look in the example model that comes with EA (you can open it from the help menu). Ctrl-F and search for "web". That might give you some clues.
