Yes

Potassium bromide (KBr) is a salt, widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its action is due to the bromide ion (sodium bromide is equally effective). Potassium bromide is presently used as veterinary drug, as an antiepileptic medication for dogs and cats. It is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water. In a dilute aqueous solution, potassium bromide tastes sweet, at higher concentration it tastes bitter, and when most concentrated it tastes salty to humans (these effects are due mainly to potassium ion; sodium bromide merely tastes salty at all concentrations). In high concentration potassium bromide strongly irritates the gastric mucous membrane, leading to nausea and sometimes vomiting (again this effect is typical of all soluble potassium salts).

Ionic compounds tend to be soluble in water. So, is KBr an ionic compound?

Some ionic compounds (containing 2+ or 3+ cations and 2+ or 3+ anions and a few other things) aren't soluble in water. Does this compound have ions with multiple charges?

I believe you'd be looking at Silver Bromide, it's pretty much insoluble in water. KNO3 would stay in solution.
