It depends on what you mean by "it".  You don't need any windows
license for "using" VirtualBox (i.e. install it and create virtual
machines), but if you are going to install a Windows OS in some
machine (whether virtual or real), you need the corresponding license
(if you don't want to break the law...).

You can't.  See above.
