Is prime factorisation used in SHA256 ? Would I be able to solo mine from my CPU again ?

No, to both questions. Implementing SHA256 is actually quite easy, no more than 50 lines of code. My current implementation that I use for my personal use is under 100 lines of code including variable declarations (not just executable lines of code).

No. Prime factorization is used for public key cryptography, not hashing.
