You will have to disable couple of feature to isolate the VM. But generally speaking, if you are to test malware on windows VM, you need to use Linux host.

I was wondering the same thing because I use my VM to test my friends RATs

You should be fine as long as you don't have any shared drives

Honestly, it all depends on the actual virus or whatever, most no, but some yes, they can "escape"out of VM environments.
