If your database is on a different computer (backend, server) there is no need to install SQL server, just deploy the client assemblies (dll) if necessary.

No. It is not mandatory.

You just need to connect to the database server where the database is hosted in SQL Server. You can make calls to the remote server and work. Currently you must be using connection string to local system to communicate, just modify it to talk to remote DB server and you are all set.

I believe the database server is in your desktop environment and the client didn't have SQL Serever in his environment. If you really want to bypass SQL Server installation and to make as small changes in your application as possible use SQL Express.
