Answer 1

You should use an absolute path. For example, if upload_images is inside the document root, you may use:
$mail->AddAttachment($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/upload_images/images.jpg","images.jpg");

Answer 2

Use the absolute path.
if (isset($_POST['btnsubmit'])) {
require "phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php";
$my_path ="upload_images/images.jpg";
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "mail.domain.com";
$mail->port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth=true;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 4;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = "info#example.com";
$mail->Password = '******';
$file_name = $_FILES["attc"]["name"];
$tmp_name = $_FILES["attc"]["tmp_name"];
$path = '/upload_images/';
//move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $path.$file_name);
$mail->setFrom('abc#gmail.com','From_name');
$mail->addAddress('xyz#gmail.com','To_name');
$mail->addReplyTo('abc#gmail.com','From_name');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->AddAttachment($my_path);
$mail->Subject = "Testing well";
$mail->Body = 'This is Body Part';
if ($mail->send()) {
echo "<script>alert('Email Sent Success!')</script>";
}
else{
echo "<script>alert('".$mail->ErrorInfo."')</script>";
}
}

Use the following and path for file in the variable $my_path
if (isset($_POST['btnsubmit'])) {
//use the path
$my_path = "/upload_images/images.jpg";
require "phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();

$mail->SMTPAuth=true;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 4;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = "info#example.com";
$mail->Password = '******';
$file_name = $_FILES["attc"]["name"];
$tmp_name = $_FILES["attc"]["tmp_name"];
$path = '/upload_images/';
//move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $path.$file_name);
$mail->setFrom('abc#gmail.com','From_name');
$mail->addAddress('xyz#gmail.com','To_name');
$mail->addReplyTo('abc#gmail.com','From_name');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->AddAttachment($my_path,'images.jpg');
