Yes and no. In form form or another most of the tech you see in Iron Man exists, but not in nearly as refined a form. We have personal flight devices. We have bullet-proof shielding suits. We have non-lethal force/"repulsor" blasts. We have stealth tech that can mimic surrounding environments to give the appearance of "cloaking". Now, do we have any of that in an efficient, mobile and easily controllable form factor like the Iron Man suit? No. Nor do we have personal, individual portable shielding strong enough to absorb a missile blast without seriously injuring or killing the user.
So the short answer is..both. Much of it exists, but not in a convenient, portable and efficient form factor, like the Iron Man suit.
