Hi @anbudhan
I will try to answer few points I am aware of.

Yes, you can use VA standalone as your reporting solution. It can also be integrated with other applications to leverage a common reporting tool.
Does SAS VA Integrates with Active Directory ?
Yes, you can integrate VA with AD/LDAP.
Does SAS VA Loads data into report layer or pushes query down to SAS servers to compute?
In SAS Multi-Tier Arch. all computation happens on the compute server.
If the reporting load is heavy how it balances the load? Can organisation scale out with SAS VA?
SAS VA compute nodes can be scaled and computing can be distributed. Again depends on the architectural choice.

VA is bare minimum product for reporting and visualization. It is bundled together with other products like Visual Statistics(VS), Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning (VDMML) to add advanced analytical capabilities to the platform.
