Answer 1

SQLite is a great option for a small, lightweight database you can embed in your application. See HackageDB for a Haskell binding.

Answer 2

There are 57 database libraries and tools for Haskell on Hackage. The most popular is HDBC, an order of magnitude more popular than anything else, and has the HDBC-sqlite backend.
