1. If you want to spend the money visual C++ is a good compiler and visual programming tool. Other than that there are some free ones kicking around.

2. Thats a tough one, whatever OS you are more comfortable in would be a better start.

3. See 1.

4. You would need to port it in some cases, if it's a simple console application that uses standard io then there shouldn't be too much problems.

5. Not sure, about that one but try Mandrake.

Don't get small ( amx ) confused with c++, since small is a subset of C and it works VERY differently.

If you really want to get a good understanding of C++ I suggest buying a book on it, preferably a large book with lots of content.
