No you can not buy a new game with VAC anticheat and you will have to make a new account.

The ban will stay in place, but since it's CoD:BO it shouldn't affect other games such as CoD:MW3. Bans on recent games (~3 years old) do not affect other games, however I don't own neither of those so I can't give you a 100% safe answer.

Keep in mind you'll still be labeled as VAC banned though ("bans on record" on your community profile).

VAC bans are game-specific, for exapmple if you cheat in COD:BO you'll be VAC banned from Black Ops only. The exception are Valve games released prior to Left 4 Dead, they have engine-specific bans, e.g. if you cheat in Team Fortress 2 you'll be VAC banned from all Valve's Source engine games released before L4D (CS:S, DOD:S, TF2,...)

EDIT: Ninja'd.

VAC bans are game specific. Thus a ban in BO does not translate to MW3.

Valve games

The Valve Anti-Cheat system is enabled for servers displaying the Secured shield logo. Using custom skins, sounds or maps and playing multi-player mods which do not modify core .EXE and .DLL files will not result in a VAC ban

Cheating in a Source Engine game that was released prior to Left 4 Dead will result in a VAC ban from Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Day of Defeat: Source, and Team Fortress 2.

Cheating in a Gold Source engine game will result in a VAC ban from Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, Ricochet, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic, Half-Life: Deathmatch, and Deathmatch Classic
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

VAC is enabled on all multiplayer servers, public and private. Any modifications to the game other than editing config files can result in a VAC ban. Examples of such modifications include but are not limited to console enablers, VAC disablers, and server hosting mods.

A VAC ban in Modern Warfare 2 only affects Modern Warfare 2.
As pointed out above, your profile will show VAC bans.

Question, if you will answer, why did you cheat before and will you cheat again?
