(a) I did modify make_mpich makefile present in IMB-3.1/src folder

That should be fine.
(b) What is the command on console to run any new additional file
with MPI API contents call. Do I need to add in Makefile.base of
IMB-3.1/src folder or mentioning in console as a command it takes
care alongwith "$mpirun IMB-MPI1"
I don't understand this question... What exactly are you trying to
do; modify the IMB benchmarks or write your own/new MPI application?
(c) Does IMB-3.1 need INB(Infiniband) or TCP support to complete
it's Benchmark routine call, means do I need to configure and build
OpnMPI with Infiniband stack too?
IMB is a set of benchmarks that can be run between 1 and more machines
it calls for MPI API that does all the communication
MPI decides how to run ( IB or TCP or shared memory ) according to
priorities and all possible ways to be connected to another host.
Lenny is right; in general Open MPI will decide what is the best
network stack to use to communicate with a peer MPI process. So
whether you build Open MPI with IB support and/or TCP support is up to
you. Generally, you want to build Open MPI with support for your high
speed network (e.g., IB) and let Open MPI use it for off-node
communication (OMPI will usually use shared memory for communication
between processes on the same node).
