1 - First buy a C/C++ book and read it. Then try writing some small programs, and move to bigger programs if you succeed. You'll learn programming if you try hard.

2 - GCC plus Dev-C++ (if you are using MS platform) or Anjuta (if you are using GNU/Linux). Google it for downloads. I don't recommend MSVC because that tends to encourage warez

Even better: KDevelop

If you need lots of coding examples: www.koders.com

You can start directly with C++. Actually C is the base of C++. If you know C you will need to learn very small to become a C++ coder. However you can start directly with C++. To create a bot for the HL engine it is better to know C++ but you can code the bot with a clean C as well but it will be maybe more messed.

EDIT: If you don't want to give a money for a book to learn C/C++ you can use the free internet tutorials. Here you are two links:
http://www.cplusplus.com/
http://www.cprogramming.com/

I think C isn't base of C++. There are different languages.

you can actually use Cygwin to run KDE.
http://www.cygwin.com
http://kde-cygwin.sf.net

however this is actually more difficult than a genuine GNU/Linux system and it's also _much_ slower.

also the Knoppix 4.0.2 version doesn't have KDevelop.
