I really don't have experience with those offline wallets but if somehow my PC get burned or something & I can't fix .. does it mean I will lose all my bitcoins unless I took a backup ? if yes how to take a backup

Shutdown bitcoin core. Then find wallet.dat, and copy it to a usb drive or two, store those at the office or another location you see fit. Make sure you've sett a passphrase on the wallet. Also realize that once you do transactions, change might be sent to new addresses in the wallet, requiring you to do a new backup.

So each time I use my bitcoins (Send/receive) I have to take new backup of wallet.dat ? should I use Export & Import options or just find the file manually on directory ?

Every 50 transactions or so is the recommendation. You can use the export in the program or do it manually. If you do it manually shut it down first.
