My daughter is under 17 yrs, she worked part time and got her W2 (gross - 2950). Do we need to file her tax return?

You do not enter her earned income from work on your tax return.  If there were no taxes withheld from her wages then she does not have to file a tax return since her income is less than $13,850.

Total tax withheld is around $250. including Federal, Social Security and Medicare.

Only the federal income taxes withheld can be refunded.  If there are federal taxes withheld from her wages then she should file tax return to get those taxes withheld refunded to her.

If she does file a tax return make sure that she indicates on her tax return that she can be claimed as a dependent.
