You need a library or something of that sort. There is the widnows API, SDL, OpenGL, Allegro, DirectDraw, Direct3D and others. Do some research and find the one you need.

and I can do all the strategic and background coding and saving stuff in C++
and combining it with the animation from this software?

Pretty much, you just call the correct functions from the library. Each library has different ways to blit and animate objects so it's going to depend on the one you use.

what do you mean by library?

and can I get tutorials, and learn how to make C++ and one of those libraries interact?

See this

Library is a collection of classes, namespace, member functions and variables.
