I am new to programing (well new in the sense that I have been doing it sparsely for years) and only have written code for microcontrollers, is rust a good replacement for C in that domain?
I don't know much about other languages, but it seems C is pretty well tailored for doing all bit-level stuff. Is rust the same way?

"All" modern compiled languages will have bit-manipulation. As long as a language can compile for your microcontroller, you're golden to use something higher level.
