Welcome aboard. First, DataStage and QualityStage is now a combined client. What you see in that client depends on what you license - if you only license QualityStage you see only the components (stages) needed for QualityStage jobs.

Beware that the hardware requirements for IBM Information Server, the necessary WebSphere Application Server, DataStage/QualityStage server and the clients is large - not less than 3GB of memory, more is better. IBM recommend 2GB of memory just for the clients.

Yes, if it has the capacity. A minimum of 3GB of memory (4GB if you're using VMWare or similar), and LOTS of disk space - not so much for the installation, you can get away with about 500MB for that, of which about half is temporary and returned at the end of the installation - but for disk and scratch disk resources for parallel execution. CPUs as fast as you can afford.
