Oracle dont certify their product to run on vmware although it is supported
Ofcoz they only recommend their own product Oracle VM http://www.oracle.com/tech
vm templates by oracle is pre-installed and pre-configured software images similar to vmware appliance
check out http://www.oracle.com/tech
MICROSOFT first certify their product to run on VMware, nobody with a hypervisor certifies to run on the competiton, nothing new about that just call MS with the tools icon on the tadkbar and watch how quick they drop the call means nothing.
Note my two posts ARE oracle VMware appliances from before the change in policy

2) The first downlaod seems to be a teaching version of Oracle thats tied in with a book, the second download seems to be closer to what you are looking for, but I cant confirm all the specs you note
3) VMware is going to have to be installed seperately from the VM, before it can be loaded. The VM comes with the OS preinstaleld, but its the guest OS and you have to installe the VMware host tom make it run
