Yes. It contains divalent zinc cations and divalent sulfide anions.
===================
No, the bonds in zinc sulfide have very little ionic character (19% ionic character). The confusion lies is the fact that ZnS has a high melting point (it actually sublimes at 1185C).
The problem is that bonding is vastly oversimplified and any substance with a high melting point or containing a metal and a nonmetal are assumed to be ionic. Such is not the case.
The bottom line is that it is the structure of the substance -- network vs discrete molecule -- that determines properties like MP and BP, not whether the bond is either hypothetically "ionic" or "covalent".

How do you fined oxidation number of Zn in Zn(NO3)?
To find the oxidation number of zinc (Zn) in zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2), you start by recognizing that nitrate (NO3) has a charge of -1. Since there are two nitrate ions in the compound, the total negative charge is -2. To balance this, the oxidation number of zinc must be +2. Therefore, the oxidation number of Zn in Zn(NO3)2 is +2.
