Yes. It would be very difficult to pull the shank through the flange without a rivet gun.
A Molly Rivet is much like a standard rivet except the shank on a molly rivet mushrooms out to grip a hollow wall. they still require the use of a rivet gun, they just have a much larger gripping area so as to not tear out of the hole they are installed into.
A bucking bar is used on the backside of a metal rivet to counter the force of the hammering on the other side.
I assume the rivet you are asking about is a "tinners" rivet and not a more common "blind" rivet (commonly known as a "pop" rivet). If this the case the tool you want is called a "rivet set".

The beef shank is the shank (or leg) portion of a steer or heifer
upset -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upsetting the rivet is to compress the rivet during the installation process. That can be done with a rivet gun to "hammer" the rivet against a bucking bar, or to use a rivet squeezer to compress the rivet.
a rivet gun is a gun
A DD rivet is recognised by 2 dashes on the head of the rivet
Depends on the type of rivet but most can be removed by drilling off the head with a larger size drill bit then pushing the rivet the rest of the way out. You will then need a rivet gun and appropiate size rivet to replace it.
To shank is to stab.
