Technically, no. By definition, all republics are representative in some form, since "republic" means "rule by elected officials", and elected officials are representative of the people who elected them. To use the term "representative republic" is just redundant. While it was used in the past by at least one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, it actually doesn't mean any more than just saying "republic". However, there are many countries that call themselves republics that are actually run by military dictatorships or religious leaders, and do not really have representative government, so the term "representative republic" could be used to emphasize countries that are truly representative.

That depends on what is meant by "democratic." It was drafted secretly during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 by 55 delegates of the thirteen original States and subsequently ratified by a vote of the free male citizens of each State and includes references to the very undemocratic institution of slavery, however, when compared to earlier practices, the Constitution created a government that was more democratic, more representative, more responsive, and more inclusive than was the historical standard. In hindsight, it may not seem very democratic, but at the time, it was a revolutionary document.
