I think vRealize Network Insight is much better suited for this: Networking and Security | vRealize Network Insight | VMware

You can use it without NSX and yes, it can be a NetFlow analyzer. vROps does not do this.

Depends what you mean by "complex" and "hard". I have no idea if you "can do that" or not. Use Google to look at installation procedures. It requires a separate license. It is not a free product.

Also keep in mind that distributed switches is a requirement.
