You will need to install the drivers in the guest, but you really should select the default as it works much better.

I have no idea. If it is network connected I would be sure to use bridged mode, but other than that the operation within the OS is user and OS dependant.

If you don't know how to set up networking in Windows 95, don't use Windows 95?

With great difficulty. Win95 networking was far from "plug and play", and anyway Win98 is about the earliest OS that's supported by relatively recent browsers (I think Opera was the last to release a Win98 version). Ancient browsers from that era would be almost useless on modern websites. I assume when you say "internet" it is a browser you're talking about, and not something like FTP.

Like Perry said, Google is your friend - that isn't really a VirtualBox question.

Recording is not supported with the SB16 emulation.
