Extensively. The film "Enemy at the Gates", about the battle for Stalingrad is a fictionalization of real events involving snipers in WWII.

The most famous might now be Stalingad, but the Japanese and Marines used snipers in the Pacific as well.

Yes they were. And in WW1, and every other conflict since the invention of firearms. Ever since the longbow, really if you define sniper as an exceptional shot who picks his enemies off one at a time at a distance from a well - chosen vantage point.

Yes.
The most famous one is a Russian - Vasily Zaitsev - who was credited with over 200 confirmed kills.
