I would like to know how Power BI Embedded support data refresh, or schedule to refresh data like Power BI service on "Import" mode, I am not using Direct Query.

Also, does Power BI embedded has file size limitation 250M like power BI service in "Import" mode?

According to What is Microsoft Power BI Embedded, data refresh is not supported:

Cached datasets can be used in Preview. However, you cannot refresh cached data once it has been loaded into Microsoft Power BI Embedded.

According to Connecting to a data source, only DirectQuery is supported:

With Power BI Embedded, you can embed reports into your own app. When you embed a Power BI report into your app, the report connects to the underlying data by importing a copy of the data or connecting directly to the data source using DirectQuery.

I believe Power BI Embedded has the same 250 MB limitation for import.
