Also will I need to change my Shifting system Shimano Deore Trekking, 10-speed derailleur?
The shifter and derailer should be fine. If anything, it should shift better with that Shimano 11-36 cassette than with the original Sunrace. It's made for that kind of cassette size.
That hub uses centerlock brake disks, so you will need either a new centerlock brake disk, or a centerlock to 6 bolt adapter. The disk size is the very common 160 mm. Or get a hub that is made for 6 bolt disks. Shimano also makes those.
