Is there any VM environment that allows the virtual machines to be booted directly from grub without first booting the host OS? (A system in which all the host OS does is manage settings on the VMs.)

I'm not sure if I completely understand the question, but I think your are referring to something like VMware ESX Server. ESX basically is the host OS.
Also, with some hacking, you can boot a hard disk partition in Virtualbox. Therefore, you could run the same OS as a virtual machine or normally. This is risky though...
My recommended method for installing UbuntuStudio.
Yes, I use 64-bit.
Are their any open-source equivalents to ESX Server?
Yes kinda, I suggest Virtualbox as Thelasko did if you want there are 2 verions opensource and non-opensoruce the only true differece is that opensource does not support USB other than that they are the same
Hope that helps
