assassins creed 2, Access 2007, Excel 2007 macro

Hi, I've just bought a macbookpro 8GB RAM, i7 cpu, 128GB SSD hard drive.
The problem is that it is extremely important that I'm able to write macro's in Excel. Apparantly Excel 2008 for mac doesn't let you write macro's, although the guys at the macstore said it would.

I bought a PC computer 6 months ago but then the video card broke, then the hard drive, then the motherboard, then the motherboard again, anyway I got my money back, but I still have the CD from microsoft (office 2007 home & student) that accompanied the computer.

Q1 : Can I use this CD (office 2007 home ) + crossover prof and put it on the mac and write macro's?

Q2 : I also have Access 2007, do I need to install windows for mac + fusion (to skip between windows and mac)to be able to run this application, or can I use crossover prof to do this?

Q3 : If I want to play assassin's creed 2, do I also have to install windows for mac?

Q4 : The reason I bought a mac is because once and for all a virus can't get a hold on my system anymore (so they tell me).

Q4a If I play a game and I am connected to the internet, can a virus infect the windows for mac?

Q4b If I use Access 2007 (on windows for mac) and the fusion software, and I am not connected to the internet, can a virus still infect the mac?

Q4c Does a virus only affect the windows version on the mac and not the OSX or leopard?

Q5 The main question is, I want to be able to write macro's in excel, want to be able to use Access 2007, and want to play assassin's creed 2 (not all at the same time),and I'm afraid to get a virus, what do I buy? What do I do?

If you can help me out, I would appreciate it enormously, thank you.
