Zooming, panning & interactive graphical Android app

Question

I'm new to android game development. I currently working on a simple android app with zooming, panning and interactive (clickable button) interface. I think it is something similar with Angry bird in some ways.

There are couple of concepts I would like know. Hope you guys can show me some pointer to start with.

1. I've been searching and reading in the Internet. Is openGL the technology I can use?
2. Is the graphic used in such app (e.g. angry bird) vector based graphic? The reason I ask is that I wish to zoom into certain level and do some panning. I have to draw the object from scratch.

It is rather a vague question and I still figure out the right direction to start with. Thank you so much.
