VmWare seems to let you do it any way you want. Full screen, scroll it
manually or auto scroll, etc. So clearly it can be done. Maybe the code
in something like VNC client would give some ideas.

Scaling an image *down* to fit in window of a given size seems totally
pointless other than to give a thumbnails of multiple vm's for
navigation between VMs. For that matter I can't imagine trying to work
with a machine w/in a machine at 800x600 for the host. Better to go to a
higher resolution and then you could consider scaling a vm display *up*
to some given size. Just increase your font size on the host. There's no
such thing as too high a resolution, just fonts that are too small
and/or broken applications or windowing systems that don't let you
adjust the font size.

As far as multiple desktops for Windows XP, these are bolted on third
party stuff... it won't work right till MS releases it... maybe they are
adding it to Longhorn?
