Q: What level of programming knowledge does it require?
A: Depending on what application you are aiming to develop, you should have at least average level of C++ knowledge.
Q: Is there any wrapper available? I'd like to use one to interact with Artec SDK using C#.
A: Yes, you can use such wrapper (unfortunately Artec does not provide any ready wrappers, so you should consider writing one by yourself).
