That makes sense since Ofelia is a princess so you'd expect him to address her more respectfully, but I would have thought usted would be the best way to do this. I guess it must be a historical thing.

vos = tú.
It is used in place of tú in Argentina. The corresponding verb is different too. Tú tienes = vos tenés

I didn't mention earlier that other countries in South America use vos, but with different verb conjugations than the ones used in Central America, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. At least one country in South America uses vos as the personal pronoun, but conjugates the verb exactly the same as is done for tú. |

Yes. The word Vos is used in many countries of Central America, it's most used in Argentina.

I'm holding the script of "El laberinto del fauno" in my hand and the Faun addresses Ofelia, the little girl, with "vos": "Vos sois la princesa Moanna...". So it's actually not 'vosotros'. The director (and screenwriter) is Mexican, where 'voseo' is not generally used, so it's a little odd.

El fauno is an ancient beast, and vos sounds old except in some Latin American countries. It's like using thou and thee.
