Shutdown. Detach the other disk . Or go into...
Not necessarily an issue. Boot critical files should be on the partition marked Active. That can be the same partition as the os or a different partition.

Is this a wind up?
the bcd entry points at the disk and the partition. So the bootmanager on the os disk can boot something from a different disk.
I dont know what you are asking. What do...
and you need to create the boot critical files on the esp and the bcd entry to boot the .vhdx.
The lazy way is create an esp partition on the disk with the .vhdx, then just copy the contents of...

If using windows...
Bios or efi firmware depending which descripton you prefer should find \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI
bootmgfw will read the entries in the bcd store and display the windows boot menu
