From Wiki here you go

Teej (???) is a fasting festival for Hindu women. It is mainly celebrated in Rajasthan and Haryana in (India) and in Nepal and is considered as the most standard form of teej. It is also celebrated in some states of India but has almost vanished nowadays.

It takes place on the third day of Shukla Paksha (bright moon fortnight) of the Shraavana or Saawan month of Hindu calendar that normally falls from late July to early September. Dedicated to theGoddess Parvati, commemorating her union with Lord Shiva, the festival is celebrated for marital bliss, well-being of spouse and children and purification of own body and soul. The festival is a three-day-long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting.[1][2][3]

Falling on the Hindu month of Bhadrapada or Bhado (August/September), it also celebrates the arrival of monsoon after a season of oppressive heat. "Teej" is a small red insect that comes out of the soil during rains.


Karva Chauth (Hindi: ???? ???, Punjabi: ???? ???) is an annual one-day festival celebrated by Hindu and some Sikh women in North India, the Indian state of Gujarat and parts of Pakistan in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands.[1][2][3] The fast is observed in the states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Indian Punjab, Rajasthan,Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.[1][4][5][6] The festival falls on the fourth day after the full moon, in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month ofKartik. Sometimes, unmarried women observe the fast for their fiances or desired husbands.[7]

Hey!

Okay so "Karva Chauth" is a fast that women, married or unmarried, could keep to either find a good husband or if they already have one, for their long life.
Some men even do Karva Chauth for their wives, I find it very cute.
Anyway, mehendi doesn't need to be applied just like "sargi" food made from your mother-in-law doesn't need to be eaten too. But, they are part of tradition, and thought to be auspicious.
Yes, KC and Teej are the same thing, just differ from region.
YES, MB CAN break the fast herself, she can take a photo and break it. Some people do that.
