Let's say, my database named MLIVE. Currently, all Read, Insert, Delete and Update hit the MLIVE.

I'm gonna to implement Business Intelligent ("BI"). My planning is BI will hit another DB named MLIVE2. It's mean, after BI implemented, there's 2 Database named MLIVE and MLIVE2.

MLIVE will do all read, Insert, Delete and Update.
MLIVE2 will do just Read, and only hit by the BI.

My question is,
1. It's my steps is a correct practice?

You can use transactional replication to achieve this. It is a common methodology for a reporting database.

Analysis Services is for data warehousing. It just depends on your business requirements what you'll use.

Well there are lot of other tools to like Informatica,Oracle BI commonly known as OBIEE or IBM InfoSphere etc.
If you are gonna build a BI on a SQL server database then Microsoft analysis server is the way to go.

My company uses Informatica as their BI solution. It's not a decision I was involved in and occurred before I joined the company, so I don't know why it was chosen. My company is mostly an Oracle shop although we have a couple thousand SQL Servers.

Oops! I typed in the wrong thing. I meant to say databases, not servers, and my math was off anyway. We have about 375 SQL Servers that is supported by 6 DBAs. On those 375 servers are close to 4500 databases (this count includes system ones).
