Simply, "Yes".

You might want to use the "root-config" script to help you set
compile/link -I, -L, -l things.

An extra step of running "rootcint" on your code is necessary for some
aditional features of any ROOT based classes you write (things like
I/O, generated popup menus or the signal-slot mechanism).  But, if you
don't need these things, then it is just "normal C++".

Yes, but, lets hope ROOT is better written....
