Here is how to do it with the X windows System.

#include <X11/Xlib.h>

Display* disp = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
Screen*  scrn = DefaultScreenOfDisplay(disp);
int height = scrn->height;
int width  = scrn->width;

Yes.

Use GetSystemMetrics()

Int x = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
Int y = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

whats the header for GetSystemMetrics() and is it cross-platform?

#include <windows.h>

Edit: At least for Windows
