It's a machine emulator with BIOS etc. It's sometimes used with a separate hypervisor like KVM to run VMs, but also emulates CPUs in userland (which looks rather like a VM but slower).

No, there was never any compat with other OS binaries in OpenBSD/amd64. (And unlike Linux, 32-bit OpenBSD binaries won't run on OpenBSD/amd64).
