Yes, XF will have to be installed in a separate directory (you can switch them later).
There's a general guide here related to importing: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/

i've installed it in the directory that i created but i'm getting this error "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." when i try to view www.mybbexamplesite.com/community from admin account, but i can view it from a normal user account. The avatars and attachment are also not showing

That's a typical permissions issue - you can use the permissions analyzer to determine which settings are incorrect.
Difficult to say what the issue is without a link to the site, but you would need to confirm they were imported.
If the paths were incorrect, they won't have been imported and you will need to start over.
i have htaccess file but i think i edited it for my previous script (mybb) because it wasn't displaying "www" for my domain.
this is my htaccess script

You will need to use the XF rules if you want to implement FURLs.

Redirections need to happen explicitly -- you would need to take steps to do it. That really depends on the structure of your old URLs. Here's an example based on a particular URL structure: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/redirecting-mybb-urls.28809/
