No, it won't. Cookies do not reside on servers, but in browsers, and no modern browser allows cookie sharing across domains for security reasons.
I don't understand what you ask regarding database authentication. Of course the login happens against the database, but you need the cookie (or session) to keep logged in. As soon as you lose the cookie (or session), you'll need to log in again.
You'd need to find a way to authenticate your external pages against the domain the forum runs on.
