You can use VLAN backed segments for DFW policies, micro segmentation etc without any problem.

Both.

You can use NSX DFW just for micro-segmentation. Layer3m VLANs, etc can still run on the physical routers/switches.

DFW can be done for VLAN backed VMs also, only condition is VMs should be part of NSX prepared cluster.
