You will not be able to get any flights to Reunion out of Cape Town, unfortunately.

Fortunately, there are a number of options available to you including flights out of Roland-Garros Airport.

If you do decide to rent a vehicle and drive, you will need either a valid national driving licence or an international driving permit. In the city centres, you can find taxis that can take you to the various destinations in the city you need to visit.
You will find many interesting things to see and do while you are on Reunion Island, such as spending time in the water and on the beach. Sous le Vent coast offers a peaceful lagoon at Saint Gilles des Bains, where you can dive and snorkel.
