It produces _template_ code for implementing a MIB module.
You would take the generated code file, fill in the gaps, and
compile it into the SNMP agent (either a native agent for the
system you are developing on, or cross-compiled for some other
target system).
Once you've got the MIB module code file, mib2c is no longer
required.

Yes - no problem there.

It's typically done by adding new code files to the agent, yes.

If you've got an AgentX-capable master agent, then you
can run a separate AgentX client, to implement a new MIB
module without touching the original agent.
There are also mechanisms for extending the agent by
using scripts - either SNMP-knowledgeable ("pass" or
perl extensions), or SNMP-ignorant ("exec" or "extend")
See the FAQ entry "How do I extend the agent?" for more info
