Answer 1

You have answered your own question.

It works only if the system have skype installation

That is how it works.

The Skype API need to be there inorder to make calls right ?

If they don't have Skype, you can tell them to get it from the website like this

<a href="skype:echo123?call">Call the Skype Echo / Sound Test Service</a>, If you don't have Skype installed. Download it from <a href='http://www.skype.com'>here</a>

You could create a SIP phone, there is an open source one call sipML5, really easy to set up:

http://sipml5.org/

Then you can go to skype and set up a SIP account. From there you can then call other phones from your browser without having the need to install skype.
