Does C use the arrow (->) operator like C++?

I know more C++ than C. Does C use -> for pointers, or is that only used in C++?

The -> operator is part of standard C.

(expression)->identifier is equivalent to (*expression).identifier - obviously, for this to be valid, expression must have a type of pointer to structure or pointer to union.
