In English, it translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered". Veni, vidi, and vici are first person perfect tense forms of the Latin verbs venire, videre, and vincere Before returning to Rome, Caesar marched through Syria and Pontus to defeat Pharnaces, king of Pontus and son of the famous Mithridates. This he did in 47 at Zela, a victory which he announced with his famous boast, veni, vidi, vici, 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. For additional info on Gaius Julius Caesar, refer to the link below:

Did Julius Caesar Speak Greek?

Julius Caesar spoke Latin. He is also known for the excellence of his Latin prose, which is still read by students of Latin today. He would have delivered speechesand written in Latin but Latin was considered a second 'formal' language even then. Amongst friends and family he would have spoken a kind of lower, colloquial Latin more like modern Italian. Unfortunately, we know very little of this language (not surprising considering as it was almost entirely non-written) what we do know is mainly gathered from graffiti!

Yes and no. Julius Caesar wrote the histories of his wars in Gaul. However these histories and commentaries were very much self-serving as they kept Caesar and his exploits in the public eye. They were also written in simple Latin so all could read them----even present day second year Latin students.
