VirtualBox is open source and free. Works fine but not as well as VMware to me.
Both let you have a shared folder with the OS you are using.
Both very easy to use.

Yes but it is free (email address) with an acces to 5 countries (Netherlands, Romania, Japan and 2 others i never used). To extend it worldwide you have to subscribe to a premium account.
