May be, I think. Even in virtualbox, you have to configure ubuntu. But on Windows your internet is connected. So you can try that.

It's worth try it. It only needs the virtualbox virtual network adapter to be included in your ubuntu distro.

Wouldn't be a problem, I've already used several operating systems in Virtualbox, both on a windows and a linux host and none of them gave a problem with the adapters provided with Virtualbox (there are 5 different network adapters you can choose from, there's always at least one that works by default as it's drivers are included in the guest operating system by default).
