Yes, it is a vector graphics library. You can get the description of
the library with apt-cache show libcairo2.

Sure, you can get a list of all programs which depends of libcairo2
with:

grep-status -F Status -n "install ok installed" -a -F Depends libcairo2 -s Package,Depends

(The grep status program is found in the grep-dctrl package).
