MbTiles does not requires SQLite. It can be read by SQLite. At the moment, it needs a TileServer for OpenLayers. It works in OpenLayers rigth now with remote server.
http://mbtiles.org/ Tilelive supports backends for serving tiles and for storing them when creating mbtiles or other caches of tiles. https://github.com/mapbox/tilelive.js For example MbTiles and TileCache http://tilecache.org/docs/Caches.html What is needed is how to have MbTiles working offline. It needs how to figure out how to local webcache that reads MbTiles for OpenLayers web application.
