where should i find this cron.php and how do i run it?
Everything regarding Moodles Cron is documented here:
https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Cron
*If you are not at Moodle 3.9, then you can switch to earlier documentation at the top.
In the documentation there is guides for running it both manually and automaticly aswell as help for the setup.

In case i update to 3.9, will there be any changes required or any impact on my running platform?
That is not something that can easily be answered, as it depends on what Moodle version you are on, your theme, plugins and customizations.
It should however not solve your problem, if Cron hasn't been configured.

There are two things:
1. Should I upgrade to 3.9?
2. Do I need to run cron.php regularly?
Q1. It depends. If your Moodle release is still supported https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases and you are happy, then you can wait. If you need to upgrade, pl. ask in the Installing and Upgrading forum.
Q2. As highlighted on https://docs.moodle.org/en/Cron, "IMPORTANT: Do not skip setting up the cron process on your server for your Moodle. Your site will not work properly without it."

It seems complete cli module is missing on my moodle backend ... please suggest how it can be fixed.
It is called phpX.Y-cli, X.Y being the PHP release, if your back end is a Debian derivative.
P.S. So your site is batting without Cron for the seventh week?
i am managing it with web cron for now ... now i need to fix it for permanent.
