Is hamachi safe and if no can an infected host infect your machine with a virus unintentionally?

Just make sure you download it from a trustworthy place.

Doesn't matter how you configure Hamachi, no viruses will arise.

if you connect to others that are not thustworthy then it can help them gain access to your network

Then the source of the virus wouldn't be Hamachi, it would be the person who is using Hamachi to harm a network.

yes, but if you use hamichi to connecto to a an infected network, it can infect your pc/lan

as long as you know for 100% sure, that what you are connecting to is safe, then its fine
