While I'd love to see web replace native apps, I don't see that happening in the near future. With the kind of innovation happening in the mobile space (iBeacon, Android Wear, Background Fetch etc.) it's probably impossible for the web to keep up.

But there is certainly a bubble in the app space which will bust sooner or later. Not sure what will be the next big thing though. Web does not seem like a candidate.

Agree! As per my experience it is good to understand the best practices but it's foolish to assume that they'll work for you just because they worked for someone else... As long as the team is willing to modify and evolve the process for good (as they gain experience)... it works well...

Does going agile mean following processes/practices mentioned in a book/blog?

I thought it was about not following any set practices and about following the simple guidelines mentioned in the agile manifesto (http://agilemanifesto.org/). No matter what process you follow to achieve it.
