Hello Abhi,
First of all when you make your Setup then in prerequisite you have to add SQL express 2008 , and also make custom installation file , this file will restore your database after successful installation of SQL express 2008 in client PC.

Yes you need sql server 2008 in machine where you want to install the project. if sql is not available then try to change the database from my sql to ms sql

If you are using SQL Server, then it's installation will be required on a target computer. If you don't want that headache and your requirement is not very big db, you can opt for LocalDB. It has as much capabilities as SQL Server Express version and still runs under the process of your application, which means it needs no installation.
Look for all the limitations first and then decide. I think if you are using db for basic storage only, limitations won't matter.
LocalDB is available from SQL Server 2012 onwards. Before that it was Compact Edition (CE).
