Is this 'bog standard' copper pipe?

IIRC, yes.

It feels heavier than I would have
expected. I assume I can use compression and solder fittings in the usual
way?

Yup.

Will it bend if need be?

With a decent pipe bender, yes. With a spring it will crinkle. Some say
annealing it will allow the use of a spring.
