This worg page doesn't cover exactly the same requirements, but it's closely 
related. Perhaps some of it might give you some hints.

http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/beamer-dual-format.html

It doesn't go as far as selecting subtrees independently depending on backend. 
It does show how to include text in the article layout that is omitted from 
the slideshow layout.

A caveat (in general, not only for my approach): the Beamer exporter uses org 
markup somewhat differently from the "normal" LaTeX exporter. I'd be surprised 
(or impressed!) if you found a way to use the same markup for both the LaTeX 
and Beamer exporters. Very simple markup may be OK; anything complicated may 
be rough.
