What does this mean? Did the Guest Additions CD not appear in the guest's C drive? Or did the Guest Additions installer not start?

The first part requires the second.

"Didn't" what? Didn't install? Didn't work? Didn't see any difference? Didn't get any error?

There is no different method. If you want FullScreen 1) you have to have a supported guest and 2) you have to have the GAs installed.

Uninstall them?
If you don't know how you will have to ask Kali. I don't know how myself, I'm a Windows guy...
