1) yes.

make sure you have downloaded IrrLicht (of course)

open an IrrLicht project. to compile it you need to make sure that you've included the "IrrLicht/include" directory for headers, the "IrrLicht/lib/VisualStudio" directory for libraries, and are using the .DLL found in "IrrLicht/bin/VisualStudio"

If you get a linker error saying missing symbol blah blah blah, you might try to 'add' the .lib file to your project (so its sitting in your project explorer with your .h and .cpp files)

2) irrlicht does work with devcpp

currently version 0.4.2 of irrlicht built for DevCpp does NOT include support for DirectX. there are some people on the forum who have made their own version of IrrLicht 0.4.2 that DOES work, but you'd have to get their version

*NOTE: to use IrrLicht with DevCpp, you need to use the library files found in IrrLicht/lib/DevCpp NOT the ones in IrrLicht/lib/MSVC
*NOTE: to run a program made with DevCpp, you need to be using the .DLL that was compiled for DevCpp (found in IrrLicht/bin/DevCpp) and NOT the one made for MSVC (found in IrrLicht/bin/VisualStudio)
