Yes, the word 'fettuccine' is Italian. It refers to the Italian food that takes the form of ribbon shaped spaghetti or noodles. It's a feminine noun whose definite article is 'la'['the'], and whose indefinite article is 'una' ['a, one']. It's formed from the feminine noun 'fettuccia' and the diminutive suffix '-ine'. So it literally means 'little ribbon, little tape, very small slice'. It's pronounced 'feht-tooch-CHEE-nee'.

That is a correct spelling of "fettuccini" (a flat pasta wider than linguine).

Is fettacini a kind of cheese?

The word fettuccine is an Italian word that means "little ribbons", from fetta, "ribbon; slice". The name of the Greek cheese is also, interestingly, derived from the Italian word fetta. Nevertheless, there is no feta cheese in fettuccine; they just both have names that involve slicing.Fettuccine alfredo traditionally does not contain the Greek feta cheese. Usually it contains heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and butter. Sometimes the sauce can contain egg-- it's important when you are pregnant to ensure that if it does contain any egg that it is fully cooked. Additionally, fettuccine alfredo is definitely NOT a low fat food, so I wouldn't advise eating it in enormous quantities if your doctor has advised you to be careful about fat intake.
