Technically, if it has carbon in it it's organic. The acetate ion has two carbons in it. Some people quibble about carbonates not being organic (and there is considerable merit to this view), but I've never heard anyone suggest that acetates aren't organic.

Yes. All acetates are organic because the acetate anion, which is CH3CCOO- is an organic moiety.
