It is Arithmetica, by Diophantus of Alexandria, who is generally considered the father of algebra, that may be the first writing on algebra. But there is a bit of debate over who the father of algebra is. Use the link below to the related question.
Algebra is a form (or subset) of mathematics.
pure mathematics is mathematics studied and used reasons other than application. So some algebra certainly might be, but not all algebra. Modern or abstract algebra would fit better in that category.

Algebra was created by the Greeks around the 3rd century AD. Diophantus, a Greek mathematician, is known as "the father of algebra". He is the author of a series of books called "Arithmetica" which were based on solving algebraic equations.

Rene Descartes was the mathematician that applied algebra to geometry.
The modern number system were first invented by a Muslim mathematician which later converted into current established digits and numbers. Also "Algebra" was invented by a Muslim mathematician Jaaber.
Mathematics which includes Algebra is considered "the mother of all science". Therefore it is used of course extensively in all higher mathematics and in all the sciences. It is possible to use some problem solving techniques that you learn in Algebra to solve proplems in real life even if you are not a scientist or mathematician.

You are probably referring to the German mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss. He lived from 1777 to 1855; a child prodigy who was obsessed by mathematics throughout his life, he made important contributions to differential geometry, algebra, and calculus.
An algebraist is a person who is particularly skilled in algebra, or a mathematician who specializes in algebra.
