They need to have at least the same .NET Framework you use for your application. Then, in the IIS Web site definition, make sure this is the .NET Framework version used for that Web site.

You would have to install SQL Express or SQL Server separately. This is not bound to .NET Framework.

From what I have known recently, SQL Express can do.

Yes, you will need IIS. I wouldn't recommend something else now for the OS than Windows Server 2003.

You will need to assure that the proper connection string is done with the proper privilege so from your application, accessing the data will still work on the server.
