a) Does anyone know whether I can sell any programs that I write using this software? (I would assume, no; but I really can't find the EULA anywhere, even google can't help).
b) Which C++/C# compiler can I use to write programs which I would be legally allowed to sell?
Sell them with total impunity, the software you mentioned is designed for that very purpose... to allow you code and then if you wish sell on your resulting software.

I am not a programmer, but I do dabble in graphics. I use Adobe Photoshop to create some of my art... I do not need permission from Adobe to distribute that art.. . I own the copyright on what I create.

This should be the case with your situation. Okay, in order to run a program you create may require that your end-user has C++/C# installed... but they can download that themselves... it is not your problem.
