The GnuCash data files (XML) will be in the home directory of the logged in
user of the OS who created the data file and in whatever location they
created them within the users home directory. 

The  location of MySQL files will be where MySQL stores its database files
on your OS, E.g. C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7\Data or similar on
WIndows 
or in 
/var/lib/mysql on most Linux systems (can be overridden in the mysql
configuration fiile).

GnuCash also stores user preference data and user configuration data as well
as stored reports, checks etc in a separate location within the appropriate
user's home directory as described in 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations for Linux, Windows and
MacOSX.

Use of separate login accounts will allow you to have separate user
preferences, stored reports etc for each user.  A single user account for
both sets of books will use the same user preferences etc for both sets of
books.
