No, that is not possible from VB. You can however prevent VB to grab any usb device by disableing the USB controller. If you want to disable autorun on those devices, I suggest you install MS Powertoys TweakUI and disable all autorun options for all media (or leave the box ticked at which is your virtual cdrom).

VB cannot use dual monitor, there is no support for it. You can run VB in full screen on the second monitor and run the presentation on it, but you can't span or clone your VM to both monitors so it sees them as seperate displays.
