Answer 1

You can use the NERD commenter plugin for vim, which has support for a whole bunch of languages (I'm sure C++ is one of them). With this installed, to comment/uncomment any line, use ci. To do the same for a block of text, select text by entering the visual mode and use the same command as above.

There are other features in this such as comment n lines by supplying a count before the command, yank before comment with cy, comment to end of line with c$, and many others, which you can read about in the link. I've found this plugin to be extremely useful and is one of my 'must have' plugins.
