I am using Virtual Box on a Windows 7 laptop and set up 16.04 Ubuntu Server in the vm(Ubuntu).
I expect to be able to access the web interface (as proof that it's working) and use
the pihole if I set my device to use the pihole's DNS.
The web interface does not connect for me and my device has no internet connection if I use the pihole's DNS.

What address are you using to access the web admin interface?
Your debug log shows that Pi-Hole is propery resolving DNS requests both internally and from its assigned IP address:
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Name resolution (IPv4) using a random blocked domain and a known ad-serving domain
[✓] develrc.app.optimizely.com is 0.0.0.0 via localhost (127.0.0.1)
[✓] develrc.app.optimizely.com is 0.0.0.0 via Pi-hole (10.0.2.15)
[✓] doubleclick.com is 216.58.193.142 via a remote, public DNS server (8.8.8.8)
I tried http://10.0.2.15/admin/
ssh into the Ubuntu platform and run this command: ip a
From the client machine terminal, what is the output of host pi.hole
Are you able to ping the IP address from the host machine? You may need to set up the VM networking so that it can be accessed from outside machines.
It appears I cannot ping the ip address (10.0.2.15) from the host machine. I am not sure how I would set up the VM networking because if I tinker with the network settings on VirtualBox, I get no connection in my VM. I am using a wireless connection for reference. I apologize if this issue is out of your area of support.
