No, it doesn't matter where you put the build directory.  It is just
preferrable to keep it separate from the source directory (for upgrades
etc).

Great!

That looks more like there's just a missing #include <vector>.  It is hard
to tell without seeing the rest of the code or how you are building it.  Are
you using CMake?  That makes building things _much_ easier...

After you have done a 'make install', use the sample found in:

   InsightToolkit-1.4.0/Examples/Installation

to test your installation.  Just copy HelloWorld.cxx and CMakeLists.txt
somewhere else, and build that.  Be sure to set ITK_DIR to point to wherever
you installed it (eg. /usr/local/lib/itk).

If that doesn't work, we will need to see more detail to know what went
wrong.  There is more discussion of this in Chapter 2 of the ITK Software
Guide.
