I dare not....................out side now.(here they say that there should be "go" )

while i was solving the problem i though in the former case "need not bring" and in the second case "to go" should be correct.

I also read that "As an auxiliary it is used mainly in the negative and interrogative forms with direct infinitive"-----Please also explain these line while above sentence taking in the view

In certain contexts need and dare can be used as if they were modal auxiliaries. In such contexts they behave grammatically like can, could; shall, should; will, would; may, might and must:

I will not go there.
I need not go there.

mrmanshubhamI also read that "As an auxiliary it is used mainly in the negative and interrogative forms with direct infinitive"

Yes, that is correct. They are restricted to non-affirmative contexts (negatives, interrogatives and related constructions), but ignoring that peculiarity, modal need and dare have virtually all the auxiliary and modal properties. Dare (meaning “have the courage”) is used to describe a property of the subject, while need can express necessity. Commonplace expressions are He needn’t/daren’t tell her, Need/Dare he tell her?, No one need/dare go out alone.
