Does visual C++ use ordinary C++ or does it use OS exclusive parts? (This is only about the coding, not the visual parts)

Depends on you, the programmer. You *could* use pure ANSI C++, or you can call Win32 API and whatnot. It's up to you.

Visual C++ does an excellent job of supporting the ansi standards. It is also designed to make it easy to write programs for windows. So if your program needs to access win32 api or COM objects etc. you will be dabbling outside c++ as its understood on unix. However this is not exclusive to vc++, you'll be doing the same if you're using borland to develop an app that interacts with windows.

Visual C++ is only a C++ compiler and standard C++ libraries packaged with libraries to create Windows GUI elements together with an IDE. It's up to you to decide if you want to include the Windows GUI libraries in your code.
