Is there a way to connect to my own bitcoin core node? maybe one hosted with Quicknode? instead of using Blockchain.com's API or whatever API BitcoinKit is using to both send transactions and receive data about them.

I would guess that's possible since an SPV wallet must connect to a server to get data? like Electrum does.

It connects to several nodes at a time. And use those connections for both fetching data and sending transactions. As for the API, that is used only when restoring the existing account to fetch blocks data that have transactions.

@abdrasulov Right but if my wallet is running with SPV. Does it mean there's no need to connect it to a personal server of mine?

Shouldn't that be an option just in case the nodes it's connecting to by default or blockchain.com goes down?
