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?

If you're up for a lot more work, you can skim coat the drywall to remove the texture. It's takes a good bit of time and you'll need to sand so there's a lot of dust. I doubt it's the way you go unless you don't like the texture, but it's an option.
