How do I use bochs? Am I right that it lets you run your test OS without restarting with a floppy?

Download it, configure it, run it. There is various documentation on the Bochs site, as well as a friendly menu-driven configuration screen.

Yes. Instead of a floppy disk, you write the disk data to a 1.40MB file, by mounting over the loopback device (on Linux) or using mtools or WinImage to copy files across (on Windows).
