Mold (fungi in general) require oxygen to grow, but they do not breath in the sense that you and I breath.

Does mold need light to grow?

No. However, if mold has been growing then just drying the area and/or allowing sunlight to hit it does not kill the mold spores. The spores are dormant reproductive agents of the mold which allow it to regrow when conditions are right. The next time it is moist the mold will regrow. Mold is endemic (everywhere) in the atmosphere.
