Try Qt,it's great GUI library. There is also free version. There are a lot of resources for Qt. It is crossplatform :)

If you want cross platform then go for Qt or WxWidgets, otherwise all you're going to do is bloat your project with libraries and modules that aren't even needed.

I assume this is for a small project - Your easiest bet is to just use the resource editor that is provided to you by Visual Studio for a quick drag/drop GUI creation and do the rest in Code.

No, Windows API is for Windows.
