It depends on the kind of Bacteria you are talking about. Most do not depend on a host and live on their own. Some, such as E. coli can live outside a host at least for some time. A few are entirely dependent on a host.

No. A virus does, because it's no living organism itself. A bacteria is a cell and does not need another cell to reproduce. Check Google with bacteria vs. Virus:)
