yes, it is part of STL.

See here: http://cplusplus.com/reference/stl/bitset/

Yes, but vector <bool> is probably a better alternative. See the bottom of this page:

vector<bool> is somewhat misleading, as it does not fulfill the standard's criteria for a container. It is proxied to optimize for space not efficiency.

I would prefer a bitset to vector<bool>. For more information see More Exceptional C++ by Herb Sutter.
