Do you need 144hz for 120fps?

Yes, you can. Your refresh rate of your monitor just means that it has a maximum displayable amount of FPS, 144 in this case. So you won't be able to reach the maximum FPS you could, but 120 FPS isn't bad. You could go for a 120hz monitor if it bothers you, but high refresh rate monitors are expensive.

Can 144hz run 300fps?
It can't get higher frame rates as it's lacking good hardware. So basically if you try to run the same game on a 144Hz monitor nothing's gonna change. It'll still run at 40FPS. The 144Hz monitor is only useful when your hardware supports 100+ frame rates, so that the games will run smoother.
