Yes, they came about well before firearms. Genghis Khan's forces, for example, were notorious for their use of horse mounted archers, and stone arrowheads have been found in Africa which are believed to date back over 60,000 years.

Yes, bows and arrows were invented thousands of years before guns. The exact timeframe varies, but bows and arrows have been used for hunting and warfare for at least 10,000 years. The first firearms, on the other hand, did not appear until the 14th century.
