I'm going to use IndesignServer within the enterprise network to establish a platform for online editing, there are about 200 users, the server hardware configuration, please?

Answer 1

There are a lot of questions here, but I'll throw in my 2 cents on a couple of them.
How many databases are on your database machine? The correct answer here is "1".
What is the current load on the system in terms of percent CPU / IO? If it's 99%, then sure, APEX apps will probably push it over the edge.
APEX page view times are typically measured in tenths and hundredths of a second. From my experience, OLTP APEX page views are usually in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 seconds per page view as indicated by the performance reports or simply putting a page in debug mode. So, if your avg page view time were say, 0.5 seconds and you have 2 cores, you can handle about 4 page views per second (240 / minute, 14,400 /hour, 115,200 / day). With that said, you'll need to benchmark your own page view times on your own system. If you write slow SQL, say 2 seconds per page view, you're now down to 14,400 per day! So, it's up to you.
Are you currently reviewing ADDM or StatsPack reports on a regular basis? I STRONGLY suggest you run a few ADDM reports for 15 minute intervals during busy times of the day BEFORE you put APEX in production. Then you can run the same reports AFTER APEX is in production and review the impact on your database.
As far as hardware, you don't indicate the platform or OS. 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM seems pretty low for any database these days (my laptop has the same specs), but will probably do the trick.
