In vim, this is known as "folding". Perhaps it is not as elegant as the
equivalent in some other programmes, but it works and I think it does
what you will want (i.e. let you easily move your functions around in
your code by 'grabbing' the functions on screen as collapsed lines).

Yes, this is known as "highlighting" in vim. There will be a
highlighting option for comments, and you will need to set it to use an
italic font or whatnot. I don't know the specifics of achieving that,
and it is possible that 'italic' will be mapped to 'underline' (which
isn't what you want). To examine the current highlighting, enter this
in vim:

:hi<CR>

(<CR> is vim's notation for the enter/return key.)
