1. I read that I only need the client portion of my mysql to be installed in order for snort to be able to log to a remote mysql server. Is this assumption correct?

Yes, but I would suggest that you have snort log unified logs and then use barnyard to "talk to" the remotely hosted database.

2. Can base be installed and work properly on a
different server?  Let me clarify:  the snort firewall
will send its logs to a database server and base will
be installed on a different server.

Sure. All base needs is to know where the db is, what its name is and what the login credentials are.

3. Does mysql have to be running for snort to send its
logs to a different server?

No.
