Yes. It is still a soverign nation. I, personally, would call it a city-state though. As it is a single city that comprises it's own country. It is also interesting to note that the Vatican is completely surrounded by the Italian city of Rome.

Yes it is. It is called a "sovereign city-state". "The city-state came into existence by virtue of the Lateran Treaty in 1929, which spoke of it as a new creation (Preamble and Article III), not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756-1870) that had previously encompassed central Italy. Most of this territory was absorbed into the Kingdom of Italy in 1860, and the final portion, namely the city of Rome with a small area close to it, ten years later, in 1870. ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City
