"-type d" means search for anything which is a directory matching the "-name mysql"
By the way, searching for the "file" mysql, is a bit deviant, since mysql is the executable which invokes communication with the database mysql has created on your system, which in fact is a structure of its own created as a single file/library within your filesystem.

If you're looking for the homedir for the mysql user, you can try:
cat /etc/passwd | grep mysql | awk -F: '{print $6}';
cat will output /etc/passwd to stdout, grep takes only lines with mysql in them and awk splits the string (based on ':' ) and prints the 6th item.
