Virtual Server is doing exactly what you're telling it to do. When you shut
down the host, you're saving the state of the guest which means the guest
is started, it is just in a saved state. When the host reboots, VS sees
that the guest is started (though in a saved state) and thinks, ok, the
guest is started, I don't need to do anything. For this to work the way you
want it to you need to set the Action when VS stops to shut down the guest.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with the issue you're experiencing,
VS is doing exactly what you're telling it to do.
