man c++filt gives the following description:

c++filt - Demangle C++ and Java symbols.

No, you do not want to add /usr/include directories to your PATH.

If there is something in /usr/include that would be OK to execute your
package management system should have made the appropriate soft link when
the package was installed.

You need g++, which is the GNU C++ compiler.

Your distro should have some base devel package that will grab everything
you need.
