Answer 1

Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of debuggers. Far bigger than any indidivudal is going to rattle out off the top of their head. Of course without limiting it to a platform the list is huge and potentially full of esoteric solutions. For what it's worth most debuggers that started life with C also offer C++ support these days.

Probably the two major ones would be the one built into Visual Studio and gdb for gcc although there is, of course, a plethora of such things.

It probably depends quite a bit on what environment you're using as to which debugger is suitable. Since you haven't specified even the platform you're developing on, that's about as much help as I can give.
