There is no best programming language.

There is best available for a given system in the case of small embedded systems, best for a given task (trying to program a website in C++ is a nightmare, can be done though), best one for a task that you also happen to know, most wide ranging, and so forth but outright best does not exist.
Latest compiler means very little. Don't get something from the 80s, and if you can get it from this century then great. After that for most languages it is a vanishingly small difference that you do not care about when learning the basics.

Anyway yes you can make a GUI program using MSVC. Here is a guide that looks broadly suitable http://www.bogotobogo.com/cplusplus/application_visual_studio_2013.php
I don't know if I would launch into GUI making when you are at your level. It is not a truly bad thing but it might confuse matters if you still have basic concepts like loops and logic to get on lock.

>Can I add graphics
If you mean can you add a window, then learn gtkmm. If you mean that you want to draw shapes and stuff to the screen (like in a game) then look into opengl or vulkan

It's never bad to use C++ or even C. They are fast and can offer the programmer the full capabilities of his hardware.
I personally left the Microsoft Hotel. gcc ist the only compiler I'm writing C++ code for. :) I also like C# and Python and in my opinion, every programmer should know at least one interpreter language, one intermediate language and one compiled programming language. They all have their advantages and disadvantages and for the future, C will always stay relevant but I'm afraid, JavaScript will take over a big piece of the market share :/

really depends what type of programming you want to do.

game programming: c++ is standard but rust might be the next thing.
backend programming: python, ruby, javascript/node are the big ones but things like golang and elixir might be the next thing. Also C will never go away for the specific parts that need to be super optimized.
frontend? well i think javascript will always be there.
