I looked at the screenshot and vsphere.local is misspelled as vphsere. Since you are using the default tenant though you need to still go into the configuration and configure an Identity store for the default tenant and Administrators and then honestly use a service account or something to use for the login for adding a vcac host. I honestly don't think you can set up to use the default tenant unless those things are done. Also if you are using an administrator then you would have to put administrator@vsphere.local as the user. Here is a link to a diagram that walks you through the entire setup [virtualjad.com]: vCloud Automation Center 6.0 POC and Detailed Implementation Guide

Yes that is correct. When you add an IaaS endpoint to vCO as long as you use the load balancer name for it then it will only need that. Also yes even in distributed all IaaS components (i.e. MGR or Web) would be grouped together behind that load balanced name so even if you had the IaaS web component installed on 5 VM's they would all be behind that load balanced name.

There is actually a custom property you can assign to a blueprint to make it use a certain vCO server. The property is VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.EndpointName, add this on the properties tab of the blueprint and under value put the name of the vco server that you have added as an endpoint in vcac that you want it to use

Here is what works and VMware knows this is an issue, you have to put in the FQDN of the group. So if you have a group called vmware-administrators you would put in vmware-administrators@corp.local. Don't bother trying to hit the search button just type that group fqdn in the entry box and click okay at the bottom and it will resolve it and put it in the permissions.

No matter what you must have a virtual switch to be able to have something to connect the VM's too. If you want one inside network and one DMZ network then you could set up a separate virtual switch for each NIC, that way you have virtual switch separation and physical NIC separation. This way VM's placed only on the DMZ would only talk to other DMZ VM's then inside VM's placed on inside virtual switch would only talk to those. Because of the way virtualization works there should be no talking and the OS should not be seen between the two. Now whether this is sufficient is up to your security personnel. Some IT security requires complete physical separation of DMZ workloads some only require virtual separation.

What I would check is look at its actual CPU utilization statistics in vCenter over 1 day and 1 week and possibly a month if your stats go back that long and see what it's average CPU utilization is. I think that will decide if you can reclaim resources from that VM. If the VM's CPU utilization is maxing out at 30 percent and is most of the time averaging very low then you can easily reclaim resources. So while using RDY to see if the host is taking too long to schedule time for your VM looking at CPU utilization for the VM will actually tell you how heavily utilized the VM resources are used.
These accounts are shell accounts for kerberos authentication. K/M is like the Key Master and krbtgt is like the admin. But they are right you should not touch them.

As it says you should use image builder, with image builder you can remove VIB's from images if you want also not just add then export the image properly. If you are having an issue using the default software image provided by VMware I would look at seeing if your hardware vendor has a image specifically for their hardware as that normally only includes VIB's for their hardware components.

Normally you can't add directly to a cluster as when you are importing the Host into vCenter it does not see it as having had EVC enabled and is being safe. Just wondering for ease sake, do you not want to back up the database from the old server and put that backup on the new one and just update it? It can contain some old information you may not want but it would mean your hosts would basically come right back up in the cluster without having to do all that extra work. Also do not go to 5.5 update 1 if you are using NFS.

You have to understand there is no longer a difference in ESXi now you use the same installation media for both. The only difference is the size of media you are installing it on. If you are installing it on a SD card or something like that and it is smaller then 5GB then that is what makes the difference. I have attached a link to an article, it is a little old, but still good at explaining the difference. So in short you use the same media so as long as your equipment is compatible with ESXi 5.5 then you are fine. VMware Front Experience: ESXi embedded vs. ESXi installable FAQ

While using the vSphere web client vCOPS is not integrated the way it is in the thick client. In the thick client you have a plug-in you click on and it gives you basically the web console window in a tab. For the Web Client there is nothing like that. If you click on an object you will see the health of that object and so forth. If you want to look at it like you see in the thick client though you will have to log into the user interface for vCOPS itself meaning https://vcops-ip/vcops-vsphere. Or if you look on the home page of the web client you can see under Monitoring you see the vCOPS icon and that will bring you to the login page.
