Can we write a compiler entirely in C or we have to use mixed Assembler & C? Thanks.

The compiler itself you could write in just C but at some point you'll have to do asm. It's all a matter of where your standard C libary ends and your OS starts....

Yes, the compiler can be totally in C, it only has to translate your language into asm (or binary).
