Why i must give the victim anything by mouth?

I assume you are speaking of CPR. In which case, you don't really have to do the mouth-to-mouth part. It is much more beneficial for the person if you just continue to do the chest compressions non-stop. If there are others around, one person should do the chest compressions and the other should do the mouth-to-mouth. Otherwise, just stick to only chest compressions.

What is the recommend depth of chest compressions for an infant?

Compressions on an infant should be performed either with you hands wrapped around the baby, pushing your thumbs into the lower half of the sternum, but not the very bottom of it, or with the baby lying flat on it's back, using your index and middle finger in the same location. Depth should be 1/3 the total thickness of the infant's chest, or about 1 1/2 inches. If alone, give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, being sure to cover the infant's mouth AND nose with your mouth. If you have a second rescuer, have them give 2 rescue breaths after every 15 compressions. Have the 2nd rescuer call 911 before assisting you with CPR.
