Answer 1

Is there pointer in C# too?

Yes, declared using the syntax int* varName;.

Is using of that safe?

No pointers are not safe.

There are safe ways to construct a data structure without pointers. If the nodes are classes, then they'll automatically be reference types so you don't need any pointers. Otherwise, you can box them into a reference.
