I think it would be wise to migrate your MySQL to PostGIS.

You can develop QGIS plugin for your project in Python or C++. You can
create your user interface in the plugin. Have a look source code of
the plugins.

Yes, QGIS is the right tool.

QGIS is GPL,  you have to share your work to the community.
