In answer to the first question, I recommend checking the link titled "Install Oracle and Linux on Your Own VMware Virtual Machine" found at http://otn.oracle.com

I am not sure why you would want different version of the Oracle server each in it's own virtual machine. It is perfectly acceptable and feasible to run several versions of the server in one real or virtual machine.

However if you insist in separate VMs, the primary issues I foresee include potentially degraded performance as the VMs keep switching, and possible Oracle Networking port conflicts for the listener (something easily resolved in config files).
