No, it doesn't need to be online in order to receive Bitcoins.
You only need to be online and up-to-date to send Bitcoins.

(Actually you can even have an Bitcoin address+private key on a piece of paper and it's able to receive Bitcoins.)

You might be better trying Litecoin or another alt coin. The time of generating bitcoins on a PC has long passed.

Do you mean sell?
It's quite a small amount to sell; the easiest way would be via localbitcoins.com, and find someone who lives very near to you who wants to buy it.
