MySQL have system tables for mysqldump

I am coming from SQL Server where I can find almost anything I need about a database under the systems db's. I am wondering if MYSQL has a system table that will show when the last time a database was backed up via mysqldump.
The whole reason I am asking this is I am trying to create a dashboard/report (SSRS) to show when backups complete or fail. Right now we only get alerted via email so if there is another way I am all ears

Find and transfrer mysql database to another computer

i'm using myaql database for my website which is in my computer.
I'm trying to transfer the database to another computer but I can't find any mysql database file...
My question is if it is possible and how can I do it? (Is there any simple way?)
MYSQL DUMP
It can be used to dump a database or a collection of databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server (not necessarily a MySQL server).

replicate a mysql table to another server without writing it

How can I configure MySQL to replicate a table to another server without writing the table on the first server? Can I write binary log but not commit the changes to the local table?
EDIT
I want to automatically (not one time) export all data inserted to a table to another mysql server, but to improve performance, I don't want to write the data to the master server, I want to directly send it to another server.
This can be achieved through standard replication. Just use the BLACKHOLE storage engine on the master server.

MySQL Import Database, No Inserts

I'm using MySql Workbench and WAMP Server. I have a database on the server and when I click reverse engineering on the workbench it imports the db structure, but not any of the inserts. What do I do to get the db data as well as the structure into the workbench.
Also on a separate point as I was using workbench, i noticed it did not automatically sync with the db on the server, ie. when i insert a new row, it did not reflect in the server.. must I forward engineer the db to the server every time i make a change? So sorry for my lack of understanding
MySql Workbench reverse engineering is only to obtain the Schema of the database.
If you want to search the database, make backups, obtain the schema and much more then you can use phpMyAdmin. There are some installers which configures the whole system to work with WAMP enviromment and includes it, like Xampp or ZendServer;

transferring data from my database to my friends database

Just created a database in my own MySQL server. Now I want to transfer the data from my MySQL server to one of my friend's MySQL server.
Any idea how this can be done?
Also, how would I do this if I use oracle server?
If you have an access to his database - you can create dblink
Otherwise you have to export a dump and send it to your friend.
I have had to copy full databases (as well as just selected tables) between servers before and a SQL dump can be cumbersome if you have a lot of data. If you have access to both servers you might consider an application called "Navicat". It is a MySQL GUI interface to manage databases.
You can have multiple databases on separate servers open at the same time, and can even "drag and drop" tables between databases and databases between servers.
