Yes, syphilis was the disease which killed him
No. There is very little evidence, if any that currently proves or even states a strong argument, that Henry VIII had syphilis.

The wound on his leg, which would never heal, was like the result of Diabetes mellitus, and not syphilis.

Also, Henry VIII had mistresses, and affairs but by the standards of a King in his day, he was actually a bit of a prude.
