2/ If I connected a digital cable box would I get anything without a subscription?
You shouldn't.

3/ I know you can split the signal from the cable to another box but is ther a limit to how many times you can do this before loosing signal quality?

4/ Regarding the above, would a normal signal booster/distributor solve this problem?
Regarding the last two, well, TBH, it depends on how your local street cabinet is set. It's best to let VM's engineers worry about it.
