No, installing SQL 2012 does not replace SSMS 2008. I have both versions
installed my system. (However, naîvely accepting "do you want to transfer
your settings for SSMS 2008 to SQL Server 2012, some of the settings
were transferred in the other direction.) Mind you, this was developer
edition, not Express, but I fail to see that should make a difference.

A plain installation of SQL 2008 Express does not include SSMS. You 
need SQL 2008 Express with Advanced Services, as I recall.
