Yes, all pit vipers are poisonous carnivorous snakes. They use the pits to see their prey (i.e. small mammals) in infrared and the poison to kill their prey in preparation for eating it.

No. All vipers are venomous, not just pit vipers. Elapids, which include taipans, cobras, and corals snakes are als highly venomous. A number of colubrid snakes are also venomous.
