1) I'm using gridview to display several tables linked using some sql statement, is that a reporting ? or in order to make a reporting I need a software like Telerik ?
2) How can I export the GridView generated into a pdf file ?
GridView will simply display the data it gets. If you want to filter, you will have to do so on the data. Once you have the right data displayed by the GridView, you can export the GridView to .pdf.

Normally not. Reporting is a wide area and is linked to a database solution (like with SQL Server Reporting Services).
I tried the reporting tool in asp.net to print GridView and Chart, However I used Javascript an print GridView and Chart to a pdf (almost like the reporting tool)
It depends on how you're defining reporting. Some say reporting is only about displaying data (than it is reporting), other say that is the displaying calculated, aggregated business data is reporting.
From a development perspective: If you use the reporting tool or something other for a .rdl file - that is reporting. But you should not think of something is reporting or not. You only should solve your problem.

No, you don't need telerik for that. You can use SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) to provide a reporting solution.
