Sending a shutdown signal: yes, but it's client-dependent. In
virt-viewer it's a menu option.

Making it full-screen: two different ways. One is to set your
virt-viewer client to full screen; the other is to dedicate a
graphics adapter to your virtual machine and pass it through.

I have been told that pass-through graphics are quite close to
full native speed, and enable modern 3D games.

Non-passthrough is generally good enough for the use of Youtube
in a browser in Windows in a VM.
