Can I setup a React Native/Rails project the same way I would setup a React/Rails app, or should I expect major differences?
Your RN app will be making http requests to your server, so it doesn't really matter what backend language/framework you use. If your React work was also utilizing http requests to fetch data, then there shouldn't be much of a difference. If your backend is a simple JSON api, checkout Grape. You can tack it on to any existing Rails app.

16 Best Ruby Frameworks For Web Development
Grape is a REST-like microframework written in Ruby programming language. Grape is also considered among the best ruby frameworks and can be used to run on top of Rack or can be used to complement the existing web application frameworks such as Sinatra or Rails. The latter can be done through the DSL-based REST-API for communication. The Grape ruby web framework facilitates efficient and meaningful APIs working in the web application domain.
