Irrelevant. (EULAs have the same value as toilet paper and shoul be used
for the same purpose.)
No, not really. Sadly.
Anyway, it's irrelevant, as the OP has now clarified that he is
running in a VMware ESX environment, so that would be the host.

XP Mode VM, which is freely downloadable from MS, you do
not need to install and customise it.
64 bit host OS = 64 Bit XP Mode VM. (AFAIK)
What? No, not even slightly true in any case whatsoever.
XP Mode is a pre-installed VM image of XP Pro 32-bit, registered and
activated against the virtual hardware of MS Virtual PC 2007.
Since its entire purpose is to run XP apps which will not work on Win7
in a VM under Win7, it would be pointless if it was not the
maximally-compatible standard 32-bit XP.
