Can you use an OEM install disk of Windows for use via bootcamp? Or does it have to be a retail disk?

Yeah an OEM disk is fine.

You can, but the activation key will be permanently tied to your iMac and cannot be transferred.

It can be transferred with a phone call to Microsoft. I've done it several times over the past few years.

Answering the OP ?, yes, I've only used an OEM install disk.
