No - you have to build  your own

Yes - use CMake to create a vtk.sln for you, then build VTK within 
Visual C++.

No you shouldn't do this (build VTK within another solution).

I'd suggest using CMake to create your own .sln for your source code too 
(which links VTK). Its not difficult and there are examples in the 
source tree.
