Both problems with the keyboard and the mouse are known and were already posted in this list. However, the posts were related to Qemu, not VirtualBox. Since VirtualBox is - to a large degree - a clone of Qemu, the issues occur with this virtualizer as well.
There exist workarounds. The Ctmouse problem can be cured by using a certain cmdline switch. The keyboard problem can possibly be solved if you use another keyboard driver which doesn't install an IRQ 1 handler but hooks int 15h instead (I wrote one for German keyboards, but I guess it's useless for you).
