Yes. Mosquitoes are insects, and adult insects breathe through holes called spiracles that are located on both sides of the abdomen. The holes lead to breathing tubes called tracheae. The mosquitoes get oxygen from these tubes and send out carbon dioxide.
Mosquito larvae live in the water and hang upside down from the surface, breathing through a little tube.

Yes. Insects have tiny openings called spiracles through which they respire.

most (all?) animals have respiration, that is they metabolise carbohydrates and sugars using oxygen. but small animals don't need to actually breathe with lungs - oxygen can just diffuse into their bloodstream directly. even smaller animals don't require blood.

Well, they seem to drown in my pool, so I'd say yes, they breath.
