This is similar to asking "I need my new computer to hide my information". This is a software issue that you're having. VirtualBox provides the virtual hardware, not the software or its configuration that runs on that virtual hardware.

Let's call a spade a spade.

If you are asking whether some remote site can detect attempts to cheat then the answer is: yes, unless they are idiots. They will see multiple PCs behind the same IP address, i.e. the IP address assigned to your external connection by your internet provider.

Whether a PC on your local network is physical or a VM is not relevant.

It depends. If you cloned the VM, and you didn't check the "Reinitialize the MAC address of all network cards" (see this picture from the User Manual), then yes, it's going to have the same MAC address, which means that if you run both guests at the same time, you're going to have a problem.

But even if you did that, you can generate a new MAC address, by going to the VM settings » Network » Adapter # » Advanced » click on the two-arrow circular blue icon to the right of the "MAC address". That will generate a new, random MAC for that adapter.
