The installation of a CU is basically the same as the installation of a SP. Of course: to be sure and on the safe side you should first execute a CU upgrade on a non-production server!!

I haven't installed a CU recently, but if I recall correctly all SQL services need to be stopped. During the initial configuration steps a check on locked files is performed, before the actual install is started.

OK . Thank you !
Then finally , Should we restart the computer or the Restart the SQL Server ?

If you have stopped the SQL Server services during install and no locked files were found, you only have to start the SQL service again. If you were not able to stop all services/processes that were locking files (and thus you kept seeing locked files in the list) a reboot of the server may be required.
