King's gambit is quite similar to the nc6 Vienna gambit
The more safe lines with bc4 instead of f4 are quite similar to the Italian but the versatility of the C pawn rather than the knight on c3 in the Italian makes it better imo

Not really, there is the rosseau gambit and the winnaver defense. Even the jaenisch gambit against the ruy lopez. That is about it.
Any openings similar to the Vienna game/gambit for black?
Many Thanks
Yes, it's called the Vienna Game or Vienna Gambit!
You play 1...e5 and if White plays 2.Nc3, it is a Vienna Game (2...Nf6 3.f4/3.Bc4/3.g3) or Vienna Gambit (2...Nc6 3.f4)
Clearly you will need an answer for 2.Nf3 and 2.f4.
Note that it is quite possible to just get a reversed Vienna gambit. Quite a number of my games is 1. e4 e5, 2. Nf3 Nc6, 3. a2 f5. Sure, white has that a3 pawn in comparison to normal Vienna gambit, but it is not a useful move.
Yes, but usually you have an italian and not a3. Perfectly fine if your opponent plays something random though. But do not play the winnawer as it is bad and so is the rosseau gambit. The jaenisch is great though like what pfren said. It is an anti ruy lopez weapon and I might use it.
