Does MSBuild need Visual Studio to be installed?

I'm setting up a build server using Atlassian Bamboo. MSBuild is included with the .NET framework, so I believe I can build .NET applications fine at least without VS2010.

We mostly develop in C++ - will I need to install Visual Studio on the build server to build .vcxproj C++ projects, or can this be done only with MSBuild?

No you just need the toolset (libraries) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd293607%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
