Yes. Balsamic Vinegar is vinegar made from grapes, as opposed to rice vinegar, or white wine vinegar. Balsamic Vinegrette is a salad dressing, specifically a mixture of Balsamic Vinegar, often with herbs, spices, and olive oil.

It is not likely. Vinegars are very acidic which retards mold (molds are fungi, similar to yeast.) Natural vinegars are cultured from "vinegar mothers," which are acetic acid bacteria,sometimes seen as cloudy, slimy areas in vinegar.

Because products called "balsamic vinegar" are not aged, and some contain sugar as well as preservatives, it is difficult to give a firm answer for all varieties.

White balsamic vinegar is made from white wine grapes mellowed in wooden casks and has a light almost smokey/fruity aroma that accents anything it touches.Rice wine vinegar is stronger and made from rice wine allowed to go to vinegar.
