Is C a subset of C++ or ANSI C ?

[SQUID 6 on the DARK side]

A couple o' questions from a "C" neophyte...
All questions refer to Borland products running on a PC

1) Is Borland "C" a subset of ANSI "C"?
2) Is Borland "C" a subset of "C++"? 

The reason for these questions is this:  I'm taking a programming class in "C"
which will be using the Borland "C" software.  I got a copy of Borland "C++"
for Christmas.  Will I be able to do my assignments at home, or will I be 
lacking some functionality by using the "C++"?  The "C++" includes ANSI C as 
well.

Also, it there a "generally considered to be definitive" book on C or C++?
