The round used by the military is the 5.56x45 round, not the commercial .223 Remington - although dimensionally similar, they are not identical.
Some Designated Marksmen use it, but a dedicated sniper would not use it.
Any question like this will be subjective. The US military uses the .223 Remington as it's standard caliber, but most police forces use the .308 Winchester for their SWAT team snipers.
Communist countries used female snipers during WW2.
Yes, but unlike the Vietnam War, snipers in the Civil War were often referred to as Sharpshooters.

Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet (bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired out of the gun). A .223 caliber bullet is .223 inches across. It is normally used as a rifle cartridge. a .45 caliber bullet is more than twice as wide as a .223, and is usually used in pistols. The .223 is lighter- it weighs about 1/4 of a .45 bullet, and they are different shapes- .223 is usually pointed, the .45 is rounded.
