2) What is the definition of a public works or related projects?

There is no specific definition for "public works", however, in the above paragraph, it discusses which projects fall under the prevailing wage law. These projects include, Aconstruction, alteration, demolition or repair or any combination of these, including painting and decorating, of public buildings, public works or public roads of the state.
