Make sure you have the virtual machine additions installed. If this does not fix the fullscreen issue, try playing around with the screen resolution in windows.
As far as I know, Virtualbox-OSE does not support usb passthrough, so you won't see any usb devices. You can access the files on ubuntu from within windows via a "network disk", you can find out how to do this in the documentation. This should also allow to see your pendrive, assuming you have access to it under ubuntu.
