Yes, you create a new virtual machine and configure it when clicking new virtual machine, why not try it out yourself instead of asking? You can't damage anything after all.
NVDA will tell you when switching keyboard input to the guest and back to the host system by saying "Numlock on" or "Numlock off" usually, that is after you pressed CTRL+G / CTRL+Alt however.
If it comes to knowing when the OS has booted, thats a totally different story, because as soon as you start the VM, all inside runs under the given OS, so no way to access it with NVDA from the host system. You'll need to install NVDA (or some other screen reader like Orca under Linux) onto the guest system to use it.

You'll need to enable Intel VTX in your bios. This process varies based on your device, but usually you can access the bios by pressing a key such as f10 or f12 repeatedly at boot and then getting sited help to do things from there.

@4 is right here, you'll need to enable hardware virtualization in your BIOS and will require sighted help to do so.
