No, you can't create a bootable system in VirtualBox. The application allows you to boot from a USB or a ISO, but it doesn't have the feature to create a bootable flash drive with the operating system. You will have to use another application to create a bootable USB with an operating system. For example, use Rufus or Unebootin to create a bootable USB and then assign it to the virtual machine created in Virtualbox.
Guest Additions are a set of drivers targeted for installation when an operating system has been fully installed and working. These drivers are used to optimize the guest system for better performance and usability. To install them, start the virtual machine, then access Tools from the Virtualbox menu bar and select Install Guest Additions. You will see that a virtual CD drive will be populated with these. An autorun menu will start. Simply click Next, Next, etc. until it's finished. Reboot the guest system and you'll have 3D graphics support, better mouse integration, USB support, keyboard/touch support, etc.
