Short answer, no, IIS wont run on Windows Mobile.
Long answer (read: alternate solution), your best developing a WinForms (mobile) version using SQL CE.
If you write your code well, place all your business logic within the same assembly, then you can build a regular web interface (asp.net and/or asp.net-mvc) which will implement your business logic, the write the aformentioned WinForms Mobile version, implementing the same class library for business logic.
