Answer 1

Even Visio will do it.

The good old Rational Rose as well.

The class designer built in Visual Studio.

Or just a piece of paper and a pen.

Even better: just start coding. You can't plan what you will need in advance.

Answer 2

You are looking for Unified Modeling Language(UML) software. I had to use System Architect in college. It seemed bloated but did produce the models similar to what you are looking for.

I haven't tried it, but you might take a look at Umbrello.

I use Visio, a white board, or a piece of paper anymore.
