Yes, "没" is a negative word in the two sentences. And it is a primary negative word in Chinese sentences.

Of course , 没 can't be omitted

到 in these two cases express the result. So if you omit 到,these two sentence mean: I didn't buy that book. David didn't look for Mary. And if with 到,that means, I went to buy but couldn't get that book. David couldn't find Mary .
