Bleached flour has been treated chemically to make it whiter. Flour can be bleached naturally by aging, which is time consuming and more expensive than artificial methods. See link for more information.

What alternative flours can replace white and wheat flour?

Different flours can be used interchangeably, although they will not produce identical products. White flour is a type of wheat flour that has all elements of the wheat grain removed except for the starchy inner part of the grain. It is usually chemically bleached to the preferred whiteness. Other types of wheat flour include unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and cracked wheat flour. Bread flour is wheat flour with a higher percentage of gluten, while pastry flour is wheat flour with lower gluten. Self-rising flour is wheat flour to which salt and leavening ingredients are added. Some flours that can replace wheat flours are spelt flour, oat flour, rye flour, rice flour and corn flour. Each type of flour will have a distinctive taste and texture.

Is it possible to make a cake without flour and use vital wheat gluten instead?

No. Vital wheat gluten is the primary ingredient of wheat gluten (seitan), used by vegetarians as an alternative to meat. You can use a little vital wheat gluten to increase the gluten content of cakes, but you cannot make cakes solely with vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is used to provide stickiness or sponginess when using whole grains that have insufficient gluten by themselves, or to increase the chewiness of breads. Pure gluten flour or vital wheat gluten or powdered gluten, however, is intended for those who wish to make their own wheat gluten from scratch. It is often mislabelled as gluten flour, which itself has more gluten than flour but not enough to make seitan. See related links, below, for more information.
