  Is there a way to package SQL Server (databases and any other necessary files) into my Visual Basic .exe so that it can be used on any machine? That is, one without access to the database or SQL Server? Assuming there would be no adding or deleting of records to any table.

  No. SQL Server is not really designed for that sort of use... it would normally be located on a central server and accessed by client applications... and you would need sufficient licenses of SQL Server to cover the number of users connecting to the server...
