The documentation for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop states following

"Develop in any native Windows language including C#, VB.NET, and C++. Extend your ambitions with support for Windows 8 desktop, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms (WinForms), and Win32. Whatever you choose, you’ll find a range of controls, frameworks, and client technologies to support your development."

So I guess you should be able to use it. Please also have a look at compatibility guide (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compatibility)

Yes, you can. When in doubt, check your EULA, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EULA[^]; you implicitly "sign" it when you do the installation.
