Hi, The good thing about VS is that it attempts to complete the codde for you and give you possible suggestions (especially for function call code). Like you, I'm just a beginner myself (even though my major is comp sci, I'm still learning intro to it, mainly data structures). I think the best people to answer your query better would be Ken, Sina, Jared and other experienced programmers.

Yes, almost all the music software especially for Vst software are written in Cpp. In blind perspective, what's advantage of working on Visual Studio than eclipse? I never used Visual Studio, so I'm not sure how it works. Doesn't Visual Studio allow programmers to write UI much easier than Eclipse? I'm asking because I heard writing UI in Cpp in text is a fairly long process.
