Hi,

depends on the kind of replcation you need, the feature comparison (also with the replication features) can be found here:

Answer 2

SQL Express supports being a subscriber for both Transactional and Merge replication. Express does not support being a Publisher or Distributor, for that you need one of the paid Editions.
