Yes, however if you use the Setup/Deployment project in Visual Studio you can create a Setup.exe that will bootstrap and install the .NET framework for you. However, if you don't do this, then yes there will need to be a .NET framework compatible with your application installed prior to running your application.

Although, it is possible to avoid this if you absolutely need to. This is rare but you can use a tool like Salamander or Xenocode to bundle the framework into your application. However, this is not recommended and only do this if it is a core requirement.

Yes, client needs .net framework of your applications version or upper.

For example if you write your application in .NET 2.0 client needs .NET Framework 2.0 or upper.
