Q: Is it possible to do symbolic vector or matrix manipulations in Mathematica?

Answer

Yes. For example:

In[1]:=  matrix = {{a, b}, {c, d}};

In[2]:= Inverse[matrix]//TraditionalForm

Out[2]//TraditionalForm= (     d           b     )
                           ---------  ----------
                           a d - b c   a d - b c

                               c         a
                           ---------- ---------
                            a d - b c a d - b c
