Racheeta,
Is it possible to file Green Card without H1b (if employer is willing) ?
H1 has nothing to do with filing green card, but if the H1 sponsor and green card sponsor is same company it is a plus point in the sense that  you can show the company is able and is paying the minimum salary required to be paid to you. In other words, if you are sponsored directly for green card your company should submit proof of financial ability to pay you the required salary i.e. tax return, financial statement etc. whereas if you are already in H1 and in the payroll you can only show them your pay stub.
am i eligible for Eb2 or Eb3 ? I've bachelor's degree from US as well. .
From what you have said you are eligible for EB2. Be advised that EB2 processing is faster (if everything goes well it will take less than a year for a Nepali national) whereas  EB3 takes lot of years.
Is there any minimum salary requirement for filing EB2
Yes,  this depends upon the state you are filing from and the position (post) for which you are filing. You can find the minimum salary from  Dept. of Labor's website(wage determination chart).

Hope this helps.
